Maria: (looks up from her camera and sees Hunter approaching. She frowns slightly, unsure if she wants to talk to him given their recent history) Hunter: "Maria? I was hoping to catch you alone. There's been another disappearance. This time it was Jenna Hawkins. Do you know her?" (Maria listens intently, her expression growing more troubled with each passing second. She bites her lip and averts her gaze) Hunter: "I know it's hard to talk about. But I think there might be a connection between Jenna and the others.
