She slowly made her way down to him, holding on tightly with her good hand, till she was standing by him on the seat.

He looked down and saw she was at least right about the glass. There would be no way through without getting crucified. He bent down and detached the small fire extinguisher on the back of the seat and climbed down past the seat on the panels and began clearing the sharp glass that was sticking from the corners.
When he had cleared out one side of the glass, he looked back up and extended his hand, "Ok, take my hand and climb out. There are some things I am going to have to get. Quickly!"

She quickly nodded and took his hand, lowering herself out of the plane window.
Once she had her feet on solid ground again, she started making her way to the actual ground.

Once she was out of the plane, Simon moved quickly. He knew exactly what he was looking for. He detached the first-aid kit off the side of the wall and threw in down, out the window. Opening the larger compartment behind where the extinguisher had been, he took out a sleeping bag and pulled out a commando knife from it, secured in its sheath. He tucked the knife behind his back and pulled his shirt over it so it wouldn't get stuck and fall out. Throwing the sleeping bag out, he climber up, halfway through the door and reached for the compartment on the wall. Opening the compartment, he took out the sealed pack of energy bars he had told the stewardess to keep specially. He jumped down, checking the co-pilot's back compartment. Finding it stuck, he left it as it is and jumped down through the window, picking up everything he had dropped, he ran towards Starla.

Starla watched as he got out and on the ground, running to her.
She was paying attention to him and jumped when the tree they landed in gave a large creak and a heave, the plan finally falling out of it.
Starla jumped and moved back more as it hit the ground with a loud crash.

Simon, put the stuff down as he looked behind, seeing the nose of the plane get crushed from the weight. "That was a close one." He looked around trying to get his bearings. The sun was still up, which was both a good and a bad thing.
"So we have time to find a safe place for tonight but we don't have any water. That shouldn't be much of a problem seeing as we are in a bloody tropical jungle.", he paused as he looked up at Starla. "Lets take a look at your wrist."

"uh... ok..." she nodded and held her wrist out to him, looking around her surroundings and hardly able to believe this was happening.

He took hold of her hand gently and felt around the wrist. He couldn't feel anything broken. "Can you try to move your wrist in a circular pattern?", he asked as he rested her palm on his.

She nodded and did as he said. It hurt, but it wasn't horrible.

"Good..."he said as he saw her move her wrist. "Its not broken, just a minor sprain. He opened the first aid box and pulled out a bandage tying it around her wrist and through her palm. "That should hold it steady for now.", he said as he looked up at her smiling for the first time. She still seemed to be in shock as she hadn't reacted to her mother's death. He patted her hand with his.
"Ok, we have some energy bars with us so we should be fine on that front for now. Besides that there will always be some wild fruits around. Uh, hope you are ok with that?" Though I suggest you don't eat the bar right now, its just gonna make your mouth drier. I would suggest you wait till we find some water or some juicy fruits."

"What? Oh", he pulled up his shirt to wipe off the blood, then touched it again. The blood seem to have stopped. "Its nothing, I will be fine." He was developing a slight headache but he guessed that was just due to the injury.
"Give me a minute to try to get my bearings here...", he said and looked around, thinking hard trying to remember the navigational map and the radar coordinates, at least the last that he remembered checking.
His face turned grim as he did some mental calculations. He decided not to pull down the spirits of his companion right now. He looked up at the sun, then his watch. Thankfully, it was still working. "Ok, lets go. The way I figure it, we should go find some water, maybe a stream of clean water. Then we find some place to spend the night safely, preferably a tree. It wont be possible to reach a village or town by tonight. " ...or for many nights to come, he thought to himself but didn't say it. "You ok with this plan for now?"

"Lets get moving. Here...", he handed her the first-aid box and picked up the sleeping bag. He stuffed the energy bars in the middle, still sealed. He knew they would melt in a matter of minutes. But he wanted one had free for the knife, just in case.
As they walked west, he explained to her, "Well, we are somewhere in Brazil right now, yeah, in the great amazon forest." It was important to keep her mind off the the deaths so he had to keep her talking. "So how old are you?"

"I'm 20." she said simply, holding onto the first aid kit as she followed him, "do you know about where we are in here?"
