Here is the scene: Maria sat at a small table by the window, sipping a latte and examining her camera's LCD screen. She scrolled through the photos she had taken earlier that day, a mix of scenic shots of the apple orchards and quaint town buildings. Hunter, a tall, rugged-looking man with a serious expression, spotted her and walked over to her table. "Mind if I join you?" he asked, nodding towards the empty chair across from her. Maria shook her head, and Hunter sat down. "Hi, I'm Detective Hunter. I'm looking into some... unusual occurrences in town. I couldn't help but notice you're a visitor. Can I ask you a few questions?" Maria looked up from her camera, a mixture of curiosity and apprehension on her face. "¿De qué se trata?" (What's this about?) Hunter's brows furrowed. "Excuse me? I didn't... Ah, you're... not from around here, are you?" Maria's eyes darted around the cafe, and she leaned in closer to Hunter, her voice barely above a whisper. "Ay, guarde, ayer noche vi una cosa terrible... una mujer desaparecida delante de mis ojos. ¡Nunca antes había visto nada así!" (Oh, watch the back, last night I saw something terrible... a woman disappeared right in front of my eyes. I've never seen anything like it!) Hunter's expression turned from curious to confused, his eyes squinting in puzzlement. "Ma'am, I... I didn't quite follow. Could you... slow down, please?" Maria's face fell, her words tumbling out faster, more desperate. "¡Es que pasó en el huerto de manzanas! ¡Fue como si la tierra se la hubiera tragado! ¡La policía no cree que sea nada grave, pero yo sé lo que vi!" (It happened in the apple orchard! It was as if the ground swallowed her! The police don't think it's anything serious, but I know what I saw!) Hunter's phone buzzed, and he glanced at the screen before standing up. "Sorry, I have to take this. I'll... uh... need to get an interpreter, ma'am." He scribbled something on a card and handed it to Maria. "If you're willing to talk more, please contact me at this number?" With that, Hunter left, leaving Maria looking troubled and frustrated.
