Dad Orders 1 Meal For 2 Girls Until Flight Attendant Realizes Why

When Lorraine Barker reported for duty onboard Delta Airline Flight 310, she never imagined how the day would unfold.

Her job always came with a complication or two. Having to manage and look after hundreds of people requires you to be calm. But this time, she had to use her instincts to try to save someone in need before it was too late.

Lorraine had always been fascinated with traveling the world and meeting new people. As a young girl, she dreamed of being a flight attendant, jetting off to exotic destinations and living a glamorous life. After finishing high school, she applied to every airline she could think of and eventually landed a job at Delta Airlines.

It was hard work, and there were times when she missed home, but Lorraine loved her job. She got to see the world, meet new people, and help others. She had encountered a few difficult passengers and situations, but nothing that had prepared her for what was about to happen on Flight 310.

The flight was routine, with passengers settling into their seats, and Lorraine and the other flight attendants going through their usual pre-flight routine. 

There were people from all walks of life. Lorraine was used to working on short domestic flights but this would be her first international flight. The ten-hour trip from Salt Lake City, Utah to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil had her excited. 

There were always elderly people that needed her help and some young kids that were traveling alone. She always saw that she was on hand if they needed anything.

She especially liked dealing with children. If some of them were scared, she’d always have something ready that would attract their attention and take their minds off of being afraid of flying. 

However, today was different. As the plane took off, Lorraine noticed a man sitting in the back row who seemed nervous and fidgety. He had two young girls with him. She tried to approach him, but he avoided eye contact and kept his face hidden behind a baseball cap.

Lorraine's instincts told her something wasn't right, and she knew she had to keep a close eye on him throughout the flight.

As the flight progressed, Lorraine noticed the man frequently checking his watch and looking around the cabin. She also observed that he was not carrying any luggage and didn’t seem to be comfortable in his seat.

Lorraine began to worry that he might be carrying something dangerous, but she tried to keep calm and focused, hoping that her fears were unfounded.

When it was time for the in flight-meal service, the man ordered only one meal for himself and the two young girls. Lorraine found it odd that he didn't order separate meals for the girls, but she tried not to jump to any conclusions.

However, as she walked down the aisle with the meal tray, she noticed that the girls were not eating. They were looking down at their laps, and their faces were pale and withdrawn. Lorraine's heart sank as she realized that something was very wrong.

She noticed the girls were very quiet and just looked down. They had nothing to keep themselves occupied like some parents would bring along coloring books and crayons or an iPad.

They looked sad and she wondered if their dad had probably scolded them for doing something. Lorraine decided to treat the girls to something special to get their spirits up.

She gathered some sandwiches and juice boxes to take to them. She knew that this would have them smiling in no time.

When she approached them, the man gave her a disapproving look and said “no”. Lorraine was taken aback by his defiant behavior. She just wanted to put a smile on the children’s faces but this man was hell-bent on stopping her.

She could see they looked lost and craved attention of some kind. They also looked somewhat untidy and their hair looked like it hadn’t been combed in days.

What kind of parent leaves their children in this state? She always wanted children of her own and she couldn’t imagine not taking care of them and leaving them to fend for themselves.

Lorraine knew she had to do something. She couldn't ignore her gut feeling any longer. She quickly made a plan to discreetly ask the girls if they needed help and to signal the pilot for assistance if necessary.

Lorraine's heart was racing as she approached the man and his daughters. She put on a smile and leaned down to speak to the girls.

"Hi, do you like drawing?" she asked, trying to start a conversation.

The girls nodded shyly, and Lorraine handed them the coloring books and crayons. As they began to color, she asked them if they were okay and if they needed anything. They looked up at her with sad eyes and nodded their heads. But the man gave an angry stare at her that made her blood run cold.

As the flight continued, Lorraine couldn't shake the feeling that something was not right. She noticed that the man was becoming increasingly agitated and was pacing back and forth in the aisle.

Lorraine watched him closely, ready to intervene if necessary. She also kept a close eye on the girls, hoping that they would be okay.

During the flight, she noticed the man had eventually let them each watch a movie. They had their headphones on and seemed a little more at ease.

But Lorraine knew that something wasn’t right. She hadn’t seen this kind of behavior from children before and she was worried that they might be in danger. But there was one problem, she couldn’t prove it.

She needed to find a way to communicate with the girls alone. None of them were getting up to go to the bathroom so Lorraine found it difficult to work on her plan.

She continued to watch them as she wheeled the food along the aisles. They looked somewhat happy but she could see fear in their eyes.

She wanted to send a secret message to them that they could only read. How was she going to do that without getting caught by their father?

Lorraine was good with kids so she tried to come up with a fun way to distract them to get the message out to them. It was not going to be easy.

She asked one of the other flight attendants for advice and help. It was a difficult situation indeed but her long-time friend, Ava, came up with a possible solution.

They just needed to execute it perfectly so as to not arouse any suspicion from their father. Lorraine’s nerves were shot. This was her only chance to see if these girls needed her help.

Ava suggested that Lorraine offer the girls a game of tic-tac-toe, with the winner receiving a special prize. The prize would be a note that Lorraine would secretly slip to the winner with a message to meet her in the bathroom.

Lorraine thought it was a good plan and began to put it into action.

Lorraine approached the girls with a smile and asked if they wanted to play tic-tac-toe. They eagerly agreed, and Lorraine gave them each a piece of paper and a pen.

As they played the game, Lorraine made sure to keep an eye on the man. He was busy watching a movie and didn't seem to notice what was happening.

It was a tense situation. She was really trying to do something without the man noticing and it was becoming very difficult.

At one point, the man glared at her and the girls to see what exactly was happening. But he figured that it was innocent and went back to watching his movie. It was a close call for Lorraine and the girls.

When the game was over, Lorraine gave the girls their special prize. She whispered to the winner to meet her in the bathroom in five minutes. The girls nodded, and Lorraine went back to her duties.

She watched them closely. She could see they were finding it difficult to get up and go to the bathroom without the man getting suspicious. But five minutes later, the winner knocked on the bathroom door, and Lorraine let her in.

Lorraine asked the girl if she was okay and if she needed help. The girl nodded and told her that her father was not her real father. He had taken her and her sister from their mother and was taking them to a different country.

Lorraine was horrified and knew she had to do something.

After the girl left the bathroom, Lorraine immediately alerted the captain and explained the situation. 

The captain was astounded and couldn’t believe what he was hearing but he had heard about cases like this and he knew what he had to do. He contacted the authorities, and they were waiting for the plane when it landed.

The man looked at Lorraine suspiciously as she passed them. He looked at the girls and they just continued watching their movies as per Lorraine’s instructions.

They just had to endure it for another half hour before they finally landed in Brazil. It was important for them all to remain calm as if nothing was going on in order for them to execute the next steps in the plan.

As the flight was coming to an end, the captain made the necessary announcements. Everyone sat back as the plane slowly made its descent.

Lorraine watched one last time as the man began talking to the girls. He was probably giving them instructions on what to do once they landed.

As the plane touched down, Lorraine knew it was now or never. She needed to spring into action and save the girls before it was too late.

She saw the man get up and the girls had desperate looks on their faces. He wanted to quickly exit the plane from the back but the girls were resisting. Lorraine knew they were panicking.

He grabbed their hands and one of the girls shouted. Lorraine made her way to the girls. The other passengers were looking as they could see the commotion.

Luckily the captain also came to help. Lorraine separated the girls from the man and the captain apprehended him as authorities made their way onto the plane.

The man was immediately arrested. Lorraine and the girls were escorted off the plane and taken to a safe location in the airport.

The girls were visibly shaken but relieved that they were finally safe. Lorraine stayed with them until the authorities came to take their statements. It was then that Lorraine discovered something even more shocking.

The two girls were eventually taken into protective custody. It seems that Lorraine had helped break open a cold case that had been going on for years. 

The man had been on the run for a long time, and thanks to Lorraine's quick thinking and actions, he was finally caught. The girls had been missing for two years. Lorraine was baffled by the revelation.

After the incident, Lorraine was hailed as a hero by the authorities and her colleagues. 

She had saved two young girls from a life of misery and had helped bring a dangerous criminal to justice. The cops were able to bust open the whole operation and arrest everyone involved.

Lorraine knew she had to do more to fight human trafficking. She volunteered with organizations that helped victims of trafficking.

She also made it her mission to educate others on the dangers of trafficking and how to identify and report suspicious activity.

She later learned that the girls were reunited with their families and were doing well. She was so relieved that she listened to her instincts and acted when she did.
