[Tuning in> **Scene: Cafe - Day** Cookies being made in the background. *Melanie sits at a table, shredding at her camera, looking troubled* *Hunter enters, looks around, spots Melanie, makes his way over* **HUNTER:** Excuse me. Have we met before? I don't see many Europeans this far in the states. **MELANIE:** (in English German): I am on a study abroad program. From Germany. I spoke to the sheriff and said I witnessed something suspect last night. I do not think killed them, though I saw them on the street, panic, their phone glowing blue light ... not look so long ago- I think at the festival? The woman... ? **HUNTER:** (in English, perplexed): Whoa, slow down. What festival? When? What happened? **MELANIE:** At the Apple Festival! Last night. I saw a stranger, there, in an alley. Female, let fall phone, waving hands at a person, terrified. Phone glowed in the trash. I helped a man after i called the sheriff - he was on the ground, restrained, next to an overturned table. **HUNTER:** The Apple Festival? That was two weeks ago. **MELANIE:** So? They have cell phones now; took photo of them. I saw many cameras that night as well. **HUNTER:** (sighs): Listen, I know we don't know each other well, but we might need to focus a little more until we get the sequence right. **MELANIE:** (upset): I know. We need to get out, to talk more. I went to the library and they asked about the yearbook. Are you still pursuing any leads with this woman missing? **HUNTER:** (furrowed): What yearbook? Are you talking about another missing person? We have many people reporting missing persons. But...they also said they her missing the morning after the festival. It seems like only related by proximity. I still have to follow up on some other leads. *Melanie looks exasperated, then contorts her face, angering. She mumbles quietly in German* **MELANIE:** (hurt): You can't, Hunter. I told you...nono... **HUNTER:** (oping in):asen? Now listen, we have calls to attend to. Let's finish this at the station. Maybe we can go down the CCTV footage. **MELANIE:** Good. Must go...and will speak then. The library assistant may add her two cents, but we will see later." *Facetime or wCGRect the Orangecannot know what she's thinking? What does she know? Melissa said nothing about a blue light phone? Curious...* *Cameras are wState-of Sleek, not old fashioned. And the festival is two weeks ago. Runners too* *Are the salt of this town?* *Young, thin wallet? What could be the motive?* *I'm blinded by the suspect list. I need to narrow it down. The timeline of events is incomplete.*
