Paula approaches the foliage and inside there stands Richard.
"Yes, it's me."
"Hello! You others!" Paula shouts.
In a moment all are gathered around Richard, hidden behind the leaves of the big branches of an elm.
Paula looks at Richard. A dirty, worn boy about 15-16 years old. His blond, curly hair is partly hanging down over his eyes.
"So you hid?", says Daniel.
Richard looks out towards the sea as if he sees something out there, in spite of that the leaves are blocking the sight. He doesn't respond.
"Where did you put the dinghy?" says Dilan.
Richard points. "I hid it between the fishing boats."
"Smart", says Daniel. "You really don't want anybody to see you, right? Somebody grown-up or a police?"
Richard looks down towards the ground.
"They told us about you", says Gina.
Richard looks at her.
Then everybody stands silent.
"Okay, and what do we do now?" says Paula.
Everybody is silent again.
