Here is the scene: --- Maria sat at a small café in the heart of Alborn, sipping on a latte and scrolling through the photos on her camera. She was so engrossed in her task that she didn't notice the tall, ruggedly handsome man approach her table until he cleared his throat. "Mind if I join you?" he asked, his deep voice firm but polite. Maria looked up, startled, and shook her head. "No, not at all," she said in Spanish. The man pulled out a chair and sat down. "Hi, I'm Hunter. I'm a detective with the Alborn police department." He flashed a badge to prove it. Maria's eyes widened slightly as she took in the man's stern expression. "Hola, soy Maria," she replied, trying to sound friendly despite her sudden unease. Hunter's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled. "Nice to meet you, Maria. I'm investigating a series of disappearances in the area and I was wondering if you've seen anything unusual." Maria's smile faltered, and she took a deep breath before launching into a rapid-fire response in Spanish. "I've seen something, sí. Last night, I was walking back to my hostel and I saw a woman walking alone on the edge of town. I was going to approach her, but then I saw a car drive by and she got in. I didn't think much of it until I heard about the disappearances this morning." Hunter's face was a picture of confusion. "I'm sorry, I didn't catch any of that. Can you repeat it in English?" Maria's eyes widened in alarm. "No, no entiendo," she said, shaking her head. Hunter's face fell, and he sighed. "Okay, let me try to find someone who speaks Spanish. Wait here, okay?" Maria nodded, still looking shaken. Just as Hunter was about to get up, his phone rang. He pulled it out of his pocket and answered. "Detective James. Yeah, I'm on it. I'll be right there." He hung up and stood up. "I'm sorry, I have to go. I'll try to find someone to translate for us later. Can you stay here for a little bit?" Maria nodded, still looking troubled. "Sí, sí." --- Voice sheet: Maria: "No, no entiendo." Hunter: "Mind if I join you? Hi, I'm Hunter. I
