Is he around

(Prison Break)

Veronica: Excuse me. Is this the Simmons residence?

Ms. Simmons: I'm Ms. Simmons.

Veronica: I'm sorry, um... I'm Veronica Donovan. I'm looking for Crab Simmons. Are you related?

Ms. Simmons: He's my son.

Veronica: Is he around?



(Hi! Everybody! Is there a difference between “Is he around” and “Is he here”? How should I interpret this word “around” here? Hope you could have a look for me. Many thanks!! )



Ms. Simmons: No.

Veronica: Could you tell me where I could find him?
  

Top answer

Is he here, yes. Is he in the house, maybe out back, perhaps next door shooting baskets with the neighbor. Is he in the immediate area.
