Here is the scene: Marie sat at the small café on Main Street, sipping on a latte and staring at her camera as if it held the answers to all her questions. The warm sunlight streaming through the window highlighted the worry lines etched on her forehead. Her mind was still reeling from the strange encounter she had witnessed the night before. Just as she was about to take a sip of her coffee, a tall, rugged-looking man with a no-nonsense attitude approached her table. He flashed a badge and introduced himself as Detective Hunter. "Mind if I join you, miss?" he asked, his eyes scanning the café before landing back on Marie. Marie hesitated for a moment, unsure what to make of the detective's sudden interest in her. But something about his serious demeanor put her at ease, and she nodded for him to take a seat. "Can I ask you a few questions about last night's event?" Hunter asked, his eyes locked on hers. Marie's eyes widened, and she responded in rapid French, her words tumbling out in a nervous rush. "Il y avait quelqu'un dans les bois, monsieur. J'ai vu une silhouette sombre qui a disparu dans les ténèbres. Je suis Absolutely terrifiée." Hunter's expression turned confused, and he tilted his head to the side. "I'm sorry, miss. I didn't quite catch that. Could you repeat it in English?" Marie's face fell as she realized the detective didn't understand her. She tried again, slower this time, but still in French. "Je disais... que j'ai vu quelque chose... de très étrange hier soir." Hunter's confusion deepened, and he rubbed his temples. "Look, miss, I'm afraid I don't speak French. Can you try to explain in English?" Marie's eyes dropped, and she shook her head, feeling frustrated and helpless. "Je suis désolée, monsieur. Je ne parle pas anglais." The two sat in awkward silence for a moment before Hunter's phone rang. He stood up, apologizing for the interruption, and answered the call. Marie watched as he walked outside, his expression growing more serious with each passing moment. As he stood outside, speaking in hushed tones, Marie couldn't help but wonder what was happening in this small town, and why she felt like she was stuck in the middle of it all. Here is the dialogue: Marie: "Il y avait quelqu'un dans les bois, monsieur. J'ai vu une silhouette sombre qui a disparu dans les ténèbres. Je suis Absolutely terrifiée." Hunter: "I'm sorry, miss. I didn't quite catch that. Could you repeat it in English?" Marie: "Je disais... que j'ai vu quelque chose... de très étrange hier soir." Hunter: "Look, miss, I'm afraid I don't speak French. Can you try to explain in English?" Marie: "Je suis désolée, monsieur. Je ne parle pas anglais."
