Maria: (Looking at her camera, seemingly lost in thought) Hunter: (Walking up to Maria) Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice your camera. Are you a journalist or something? Maria: (Looking up at Hunter, surprised) No, I'm just a student on a study abroad program. My name is Maria. Hunter: (Extending his hand) Hunter. Detective Hunter. I'm actually investigating a series of disappearances in town. Have you heard anything about them? Maria: (Looking troubled and shaken, she hesitates before responding in Spanish) Hunter: (Frowning, confusion written all over his face) Uh, sorry, I don't speak Spanish. Maria: (Sighing, she tries to collect herself before speaking again in English) Yes, I've heard about the disappearances. I was wondering if there was any connection to the festival this weekend. Hunter: (Pausing for a moment, he considers her words) It's possible. We're looking into all leads right now. Do you mind if I ask if you've seen anything suspicious recently? Maria: (Shaking her head) No, nothing like that. But I did notice some men following a girl near the park yesterday. Hunter: (Taking out his notebook) Can you describe the men or the girl? It could be helpful. Maria: (Nodding) Of course. Just let me think for a moment. They continued talking as Maria described the situation to Hunter, who took meticulous notes. He thanked her for her help and promised to keep her updated if he found any more information related to the disappearances. Before he could leave, however, his radio went off, alerting him to another emergency. Hunter: (Apologizing, he excuses himself and heads towards his car) Thanks again, Maria. I'll be in touch. Maria: (Waving goodbye, she watches him leave and hopes that her small piece of information might help solve the case.)
