**Voice Sheet: Maria and Hunter at the Café** *Scene: Maria is sitting at an outdoor table at a quaint café in Alborn, MN, reviewing the photos she recently took. Her camera rests in her lap. The afternoon sun casts a warm glow over the town square. Hunter approaches, his demeanor business-like yet approachable.* --- **Hunter:** "Excuse me, miss. I'm Detective Hunter. Mind if I have a word?" **Maria:** "Oh, lo siento. No hablo inglés. ¿Qué necesita?" *Hunter scratches his head, trying to piece together any recognizable word.* **Hunter:** "Uh, I'm looking into something that happened here recently. Disappearances. Er, desapariciones?" *Maria's eyes widen with understanding and distress. She shifts nervously in her seat.* **Maria:** "¡Sí, sí! Las desapariciones. Es muy preocupante. Vi algo extraño la última noche cerca del festival de manzanas." *Hunter is clearly struggling to keep up, his brow furrowing.* **Hunter:** "Okay, I got 'festival de manzanas.' Something near the apple festival?" *Maria nods emphatically, gesturing with her hands as if trying to paint the scene with gestures.* **Maria:** "Sí, había una sombra extraña. Algo o alguien, no estoy segura. Era aterrador." *Hunter picks up on the fear in her eyes but is lost in translation.* **Hunter:** "Right, right. Strange shadow, uh, una sombra extraña. Got it. Anything else?" *Maria glances at her camera, pointing to it with urgency.* **Maria:** "Tengo fotos. Aquí, en la cámara." *Suddenly, Hunter's phone rings. He raises a finger, indicating he needs a moment, as he steps aside to answer the call.* **Hunter:** "Hunter here. Yes, I understand. On my way." *He turns back to Maria, trying to convey understanding and urgency despite the language barrier.* **Hunter:** "Gracias. I'll be back, okay? Thank you. You, uh, stay safe." *Maria nods, watching as Hunter hurries away, a mixture of relief and lingering unease settling over her.* --- *End Scene.*
