Here is the scene: Melanie sat at a small table by the window of the cozy cafe, her camera laid out in front of her as she examined the latest batch of photos she'd taken. The sunshine streaming in highlighted the dust motes dancing in the air, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled her senses. She was lost in thought, replaying the events of the past few days in her mind. Just as she was starting to feel a sense of unease, a tall, rugged-looking man with a stern expression approached her table. He flashed a badge and introduced himself as Detective Hunter. "Mind if I join you, miss...?" He trailed off, waiting for her to fill in the blank. Melanie startled, but then smiled and nodded, gesturing to the empty chair across from her. "Melanie," she said, her German accent thick and rich. Hunter sat down, his eyes scanning the cafe before focusing on Melanie. "Detective Hunter, Alborn Police Department. I'm investigating some... strange occurrences in town. I understand you're a student here on a study abroad program?" Melanie's brow furrowed, and she nodded, her eyes clouding. "Ja, das ist richtig." (Yes, that's right.) Hunter's expression turned puzzled. "I'm sorry, miss. I don't speak German. Can you please tell me in English?" Melanie's eyes widened, and she shook her head, apologizing in German. "Es tut mir leid, ich spreche kein Englisch." (I'm sorry, I don't speak English.) Hunter's face fell, and he rubbed his temples. "Okay, let me try that again. Do you know anything about the strange happenings in town? People have been disappearing, and we're stumped." Melanie's face paled, and she spoke rapidly in German, her words tumbling out in a rush. "Ja, ich habe gehört, dass Menschen verschwinden, und es ist sehr beunruhigend. Ich habe letzte Nacht seltsame Geräusche gehört, und ich denke, ich habe etwas gesehen, aber ich bin nicht sicher... Ich bin so verwirrt und ängstlich." (Yes, I've heard that people are disappearing, and it's very disturbing. I heard strange noises last night, and I think I saw something, but I'm not sure... I'm so confused and scared.) Hunter's face remained a mask of confusion, and he nodded sympathetically, though it was clear he didn't understand a word. "I see. Well, if you remember anything or have any information, please don't hesitate to come to the station, okay?" Melanie nodded, still speaking in German, "Ja, ich werde mich bemühen, aber ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich helfen kann." (Yes, I'll try, but I'm not sure if I can help.) Just then, Hunter's phone rang, and he excused himself, answering with a curt "Hunter." After a brief conversation, he stood up, his expression grave. "I have to go, miss. Thank you for your time." Melanie nodded, still shaken, as Hunter departed, leaving her alone with her thoughts and her camera. Here is the voice sheet: Melanie: "Ja, das ist richtig.", "Es tut mir leid, ich spreche kein Englisch.", "Ja, ich habe gehört, dass Menschen verschwinden, und es ist sehr beunruhigend. Ich habe letzte Nacht seltsame Geräusche gehört, und ich denke, ich habe etwas gesehen, aber ich bin nicht sicher... Ich bin so verwirrt und ängstlich.", "Ja, ich werde mich bemühen, aber ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich helfen kann." Hunter: "Mind if I join you, miss…?", "Detective Hunter, Alborn Police Department. I'm investigating some… strange occurrences in town. I understand you're a student here on a study abroad program?", "I'm sorry, miss. I don't speak German. Can you please tell me in English?", "Okay, let me try that again. Do you know anything about the strange happenings in town? People have been disappearing, and we're stumped.", "I see. Well, if you remember anything or have any information, please don't hesitate to come to the station, okay?"
