Scene: The warm atmosphere of the small café in Alborn, MN. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, accompanied by the gentle chatter of the patrons. Maria sat by the window, her camera in front of her, lost in thought. She looked troubled, her brow furrowed as she stared at the lens. Hunter, dressed in a crisp suit, walked into the café, scanning the room. His eyes landed on Maria, and he walked towards her, his no-nonsense attitude evident in his stride. Hunter: "Excuse me, miss. Mind if I join you?" Maria looked up, startled, and nodded. Hunter sat down across from her, taking out his notebook and pen. Hunter: "I'm Detective Hunter, and I've been investigating a recent disappearance in the town. Did you happen to see or hear anything unusual last night, especially around the festival grounds?" Maria's expression changed, her eyes widening in distress. She began to speak rapidly in Spanish, her hands gesticulating as she spoke. Maria: "¡Estoy tan asustada! ¡Vi algo anoche cerca del lugar del festival, pero no me atreví a acercarme! ¡Había una figura oscura, vagando alrededor de los puestos de manzanas, y luego desapareció en la oscuridad!" Hunter's expression changed from inquiring to confused, his brow furrowed in an attempt to understand. He leaned back in his chair, looking around the café to see if anyone could translate, but to no avail. Hunter: "I'm sorry, miss...I didn't quite catch that. Could you please speak in English?" Maria looked at him, frantically realizing the language barrier between them. She tried again in Spanish, slower this time, but Hunter's expression remained puzzled. Hunter: "I apologize, miss, but I don't speak Spanish. Is there someone here who can translate for us?" Maria shook her head, and the two sat in silence for a moment, the language barrier a significant obstacle between them. Just as it seemed like the conversation was going nowhere, Hunter's phone rang, breaking the silence. He stood up, apologetic. Hunter: "I'm sorry, miss, but I have to take this call. If you could come down to the station, we'll find someone to translate for you." Maria nodded, and Hunter took his leave, leaving her lost in thought, still clutching her camera. As he walked out of the café, Hunter couldn't help but wonder what Maria was trying to tell him, and whether it might just be the key to solving the mysterious disappearance in the small town of Alborn.
