**Melanie**: [sitting at a café table, reviewing photos on her camera, the afternoon light softly bathing the cozy, rustic interior] **Hunter**: [approaches the table, his stride purposeful, his expression serious] "Excuse me, miss? Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about something that happened recently here in town?" **Melanie**: [looks up, visibly startled, her camera almost slipping from her grasp] "Entschuldigung, ich verstehe nicht..." [shakes her head, troubled] **Hunter**: [frowning slightly, trying again more slowly] "I'm Detective Hunter. Do you speak any English at all?" **Melanie**: [clutches her camera, frowning with worry] "Ich spreche kein Englisch..." [takes a deep breath, attempting to explain in German] "Es tut mir leid, ich habe nichts gesehen, ich weiß nicht, was passiert ist." [her expression turns anxious] **Hunter**: [squints slightly, clearly not understanding] "Uh, I don't... understand German. Did you see anything unusual? Strange people? Any sort of disturbance?" **Melanie**: [her confusion mounting, she shakes her head] "Nein, nein... nichts gesehen, nichts gehört." [she glances around, trying to find words or gestures to make herself understood] "Verstehen Sie?" **Hunter**: [taking a deep sigh, looks around for anyone that might help translate, but sees no one] "No, I don't understand... Look, I'm trying to figure out what happened. Hold on for a second." [his phone rings] **Melanie**: [watches as he pulls his phone out, looking equally frustrated and relieved] **Hunter**: [answering the call, turning away slightly] "Yeah? Alright, I'll be there." [hangs up and looks back at Melanie] "I have to go now. But if you remember anything, please find someone who can translate and come to the station. Danke." **Melanie**: [nods, though still anxious] "Ja, ja... danke..." [watches Hunter leave, troubled by the encounter] **Hunter**: [gives her one last look before hurrying off, his mind already focused on the next lead]
