**(Scene: Melanie sits at a cafe table, reviewing photos on her camera. Hunter walks up to her.)** Melanie: *(in German)* "Oh! Are you looking for something?" Hunter: *(confused)* "Um... Excuse me? Do you speak English?" Melanie: *(in German)* "I'm sorry, but I don't speak English yet. I'm a student from Germany." Hunter: "I see... Well, I'm Detective Hunter. I'm investigating a recent event in town. Maybe you've heard about the disappearances?" **(Melanie's face turns pale, and she speaks rapidly in German.)** Melanie: *(in German, troubled)* "Yes, I've heard about them. It's frightening! I'm worried for my safety and everyone else's in this town. Do you have any leads?" Hunter: "Whoa, slow down... I'm sorry, I don't understand German. Is there someone who can translate for us?" **(Melanie looks around and points to a waitress.)** Melanie: *(in German)* "Maybe she can help us." **(The waitress comes over and introduces herself as Sarah, agreeing to help translate.)** Sarah: "Melanie is concerned about the disappearances. She was asking if you had any leads in the case." Hunter: "I see. We have a few leads we're following up on, but I can't discuss the details yet. Melanie, have you seen anything suspicious lately?" **(Sarah translates for Melanie, who responds in German.)** Melanie: *(in German)* "I haven't seen anything myself, but I heard some rumors about strange lights in the forest." Sarah: "She hasn't seen anything herself, but she's heard rumors about strange lights in the forest." **(Before Hunter can ask more questions, his phone rings.)** Hunter: "Excuse me, I need to take this. Melanie, thank you for your time. If you see or hear anything else that might be helpful, please let us know." **(Hunter leaves, and Melanie goes back to her camera.)**
