Melanie: (staring blankly at camera, not looking up) "Es ist...es ist unfassbar. Ich kann es immer noch nicht glauben." Hunter: (approaching Melanie) "Miss, are you okay? Do you need any help?" *notices telescope camera* "That's a nice camera you've got there. You into photography?" Melanie: (recoiling slightly) "Bitte, lassen Sie mich in Ruhe. Ich will nicht reden." *tear rolls down cheek* Hunter: (taken aback) "Uh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. My name's Detective Hunter, I'm investigating a recent incident that happened nearby. I was hoping you might have seen something?" Melanie: (sniffling) "Ich...ich habe gesehen, was passiert ist. Aber ich verstehe nicht, was es bedeutet. Es war so gruselig." *shudders* Hunter: (frowning) "If you don't mind me asking, what did you see exactly? Even the smallest detail could be useful." Melanie: (wiping away tears) "Ich weiß nicht, wie ich es beschreiben soll... Es war ein Mann, er...er hat jemandem weh getan. Und dann...dann war er einfach weg. Wie ein Geist." Hunter: (internally confusion mounts, miscomprehending garbled German) *mental note: find translator, glad I took that one German class* Detective Hangdog: (over phone) "Hey Hunter, we got another call. Someone's gone missing from that same area, across the street." Hunter: (sighs) "Thanks, I'm on my way. *turns back to Melanie* I'm sorry miss, I have to go. If you can figure out what you saw, please come to the station and let me know, okay? *places card on table* Here if you need anything, you have my number." Melanie: *nods solemnly* "Ja, ich werde versuchen, es zu verstehen. Danke." Hunter: (heads out to waiting cruiser, mind reeling)Well that was strange. Something definitely fishy going on here. That girl seemed pretty shaken, but I couldn't make out a word she said. Hopefully that card finds its way to the right person.
