**Voice Sheet: Maria and Hunter at the Cafe** **[Setting: A cozy, quaint cafe in Alborn, MN. The scent of freshly brewed coffee and pastries fills the air. Maria is sitting by a window, her camera open on the table, flipping through her photos. Hunter, a rugged-looking man in a trench coat, approaches her table. He places a hand on the back of the chair opposite her.]** **Hunter:** [in a firm, direct tone] "Excuse me, miss. I'm Detective Hunter. I need to ask you a few questions about a recent event in town. Can you help me?" **[Maria looks up, startled. She sees the badge he holds up and her eyes widen. She speaks rapidly in Spanish, her voice trembling.]** **Maria:** [troubled and shaken] "¡Por supuesto, pero... pero no hablo inglés bien! ¿Puede ayudarme? ¡Soy nueva aquí y esto es muy confuso para mí!" **[Hunter frowns, clearly not understanding a word. He shakes his head, trying to communicate his confusion.]** **Hunter:** [slowly and carefully] "I'm sorry, I don't understand Spanish. Can you write down what you want to say, or maybe find someone who can translate?" **[Maria looks around the cafe, her anxiety growing. She takes a deep breath and tries to explain in simple Spanish, hoping he might catch some words.]** **Maria:** [still troubled] "¡No hablo inglés! ¡Soy de España! ¿Hay alguien que hable español?" **[Hunter nods, trying to stay calm and reassuring. He motions for her to wait and pulls out his phone, likely to call for backup or translation help.]** **Hunter:** [calmly] "Okay, I'm going to call someone who can help us communicate. Can you wait here for a moment?" **[Just as Hunter is about to make the call, his phone rings. He answers it, his expression turning serious.]** **Hunter:** [into the phone] "This is Detective Hunter. What is it?" **[Maria watches him intently, her camera still in front of her. She fidgets with the strap, clearly uneasy. Hunter listens for a moment, then nods.]** **Hunter:** [into the phone] "I'll be right there." **[Hunter hangs up and looks back at Maria, his expression apologetic.]** **Hunter:** [quickly] "I have to go. Something important has come up. If you need anything, or if you remember anything important, please find a way to contact me. Here's my card." **[He places a business card on the table and stands up, giving her a nod before leaving the cafe. Maria looks down at the card, her brow furrowed in confusion and worry.]** **Maria:** [whispering to herself] "¿Qué está pasando? Esto es muy raro..."
