When Beau came to the clearing through a thick entrance of the bushes there seemed to be a lot of people already gathered. He had walked his route, not in any hurry to tire himself out. As his he stepped over a final small rim of bushes, exposing himself to the open air at the meeting point on the pad, Beau looked around at who was already here. He saw Eli handing two others, Alex and Daily, a piece of his fruit, looked to his side to see Todd emerging from the forest line, shrugging his backpack. Another man, Murry, joined the others from what seemed to be a hiding point he had. They all certainly had their reasons to have their guards up. If they were all summoned for reasons of special powers there was a faint chance they had been discovered by the ETs and this whole "secret mission" was a trap. Having nothing to gain and everything to lose, Beau came to the meeting point anyway, despite knowing this could be a possibility; anything to take another step closer to find Rain. 

Beau walked forward slowly. In the forest he had tucked his pistol in the back of his pants, though if they were to be ambushed by ETs it wouldn't fair very well. Beau looked carefully at everyone, curious if he would recognize anyone from previous slave camps. It was highly likely some of them would know each other. 

When Beau saw he had been seen by the others he raised his arm up to a wave, walking towards them still. Once he came close enough to them he raised his hand again in greeting. "Hello everyone. My name is Beau" he said. They would need to get to know each other soon enough.
