} Scene: Marie is sitting at a charming cafe in Alborn, MN, with a spectacular view of the apple trees that the town boasts. She is holding up her camera, reviewing the snaps she'd taken just a while ago. Hunter enters the scene, his sharp eyes noticing Marie's flustered appearance. He strides over to her table, interrupting her silent contemplation of her recent shots. Hunter: "Excuse me, ma'am. I'm Hunter, a detective in town investigating a series of disappearances. I heard you've been here for a while and, ah, I was hoping you might be able to shed some light?" Marie seems taken aback by the sudden conversation. She speaks her response in her native French, her voice carrying a hint of fear and exasperation. Marie: "Oui, je suis ici pour un programme d'études à l'étranger, mais j'ai vu quelque chose d'étrange hier soir. Il y avait un homme dans les arbres, je crois qu'il suivait quelqu'un. C'était terrifiant, je ne sais pas qui le signaler." Hunter, not understanding a single word, looks perplexed. He attempts to reply with what he guesses might be an encouraging nod and a polite smile, shrugging his shoulders in silent acknowledgment of his linguistic shortcomings. As the two look at each other, not fully able to communicate their thoughts, Marie's distress deepens. Her face falls in frustration of not being understood. The detective, on the other hand, remains composed, but his confusion is palpable. Their attempt at exchanging information is abruptly interrupted when Hunter receives an urgent phone call. Reluctantly, he excuses himself from the conversation, giving a small nod in the direction of Marie before hurrying away. Hunter: "I'm sorry ma'am, I've got to take this. If you remember anything else, there's a way to get in touch with me. Thank you for your time." Marie nods, understanding that their conversation has to end sooner than she would have liked. She watches as he leaves, the puzzled expression still on her face, her camera now forgotten on the table. End Scene.
