**Voice Sheet for Scene: Cafe Encounter** *Setting: A quaint outdoor café in Alborn, MN. Tables are adorned with checkered tablecloths and flower vases. The air smells of freshly brewed coffee and blossoming apple trees. Maria, with her DSLR camera in hand, is seated at a corner table, gazing intently at the photos on the screen. Hunter, wearing his detective badge, approaches her.* --- **Hunter:** "Excuse me, ma'am. Can I ask you a few questions?" **Maria:** "Lo siento, no hablo inglés." *(I'm sorry, I don't speak English.)* **Hunter:** "Uh, okay. Do you understand me at all?" *[gestures to himself and then to the town]* "I'm a detective investigating the disappearances." **Maria:** *(nervously glancing around before looking back at her camera)* "Desapariciones... en el pueblo?" *(Disappearances... in the town?)* **Hunter:** *[nodding, trying to piece together her words]* "Yes, disappearances. You saw anything... strange?" **Maria:** "Vi algo... extraño cerca del bosque." *(I saw something... strange near the woods.)* "[gestures with her hand towards the forest]" **Hunter:** *[frowns, clearly not understanding]* "Woods? You mean... there?" *[points in the general direction of the forest]* **Maria:** *(panicking slightly)* "Sí, y había... un hombre." *(Yes, and there was... a man.)* **Hunter:** "A man?" *[scribbles in his notepad and points to it]* "Can you describe him?" **Maria:** *(trying to communicate through a mixture of Spanish and gestures)* "Alto... con chaqueta negra..." *(Tall... with a black jacket...)* **Hunter:** "Tall, black jacket. Got it." *[drawing a small figure in his notepad]* "Anything else?" **Maria:** "No puedo describir más... pero tengo esto." *(I can't describe more... but I have this.)* *[holds up her camera]* **Hunter:** *[leaning forward, showing interest]* "Camera? Can I see?" **Maria:** *(nodding, she shows Hunter a picture on the camera screen)* **Hunter:** *[examining the screen with a serious expression]* "Interesting. Can I... uh, keep this photo?" *[mimes taking the camera]* **Maria:** "Sí, te lo puedo enviar." *(Yes, I can send it to you.)* "[mimes typing on a phone]" **Hunter:** "Email, yes. Here’s my card." *[hands her his business card]* **Maria:** *(takes the card, nodding)* "Thank you, detective." **Hunter:** "Thank you. Stay safe." *[Hunter's phone buzzes; he answers it with a curt nod]* "I have to go. Adios." **Maria:** "Adiós." *(Goodbye.)* --- *Hunter walks away, phone pressed to his ear as Maria watches him leave, feeling both relieved and anxious. She takes a deep breath, clutching her camera as she prepares to leave the café.*
