Marie sat sipping her coffee at the small café in Alborn, Minnesota, her eyes fixed on the camera in her hands. She had been taking stunning landscape photos of the changing fall foliage in the area, but her mind was preoccupied with the strange occurrence at the apple festival the night before. Suddenly, she felt a presence beside her and looked up to see a man with a rugged demeanor and a no-nonsense attitude. "Miss, I'm Detective Hunter. I've been investigating some strange happenings in this town, and I understand you were at the apple festival last night. Can you tell me what you saw?" he asked, his eyes scrutinizing hers. Marie's expression turned troubled and shaken as she began to speak in rapid French. "J'ai vu quelque chose de très étrange, monsieur. Il faisait nuit, et j'étais en train de prendre des photos des feux de joie. Et puis, j'ai vu une personne qui semblait disparaître dans la foule. Je n'ai pas vu son visage, mais... mais j'ai eu l'impression qu'il y avait quelque chose de sinistre dans l'air." Hunter's face contorted in confusion. "I'm sorry, miss, I don't understand what you're saying. Do you speak English at all?" Marie realized the detective didn't understand her and tried to use hand gestures to convey her message. "Non, désolée. Je ne parle pas anglais. Mais... mais j'ai vu quelque chose de très inquiétant. Pouvez-vous trouver quelqu'un qui parle français?" Hunter rubbed his temples, trying to think of a solution. "I'll see what I can do. Can you wait here for a minute?" Just then, his phone rang. "Excuse me, miss. I have to take this." He stepped away from the table, answering the call in a hushed tone. Marie: "J'ai vu quelque chose de très étrange, monsieur.
