Flight Attendant Siam Mendes steadied his hands on the control. It had been 6 hours since they lost contact with the Air Traffic Control. Their pilot was dead and the co-pilot was being restrained by a group of stewards. Amidst screams and swears from the co-pilot, Siam tried to concentrate, recalling the basic training he had as a recreational pilot. A slick aircraft flew to his right side. An angry face from the cockpit peeked out and a hand brandished something. Soon another lightweight flew to his left.
Then the radio beeped soothingly, ‘’Mr. Mendes, can you hear me?’’

There’s a lot going on here! I hope he lands the plane safely now that help has arrived.
I think the aircraft to his right is pointing a weapon and the ATC has not connected with Siam Mendes. They speak in phrases and don’t know that Mendes (the flight attendant) is at the helm. Someone or something else has contacted him:) Thank you for reading, Avery.
