**Scene Description:** The morning mist still clings to the eaves of the Apple Basket Café in downtown Alborn. Selvi sits at a corner table, her fingers trembling slightly as she scrolls through the digital playback on her Nikon. The vibrant colors of the autumn leaves on the screen seem to mock the paleness of her face. Hunter enters, his boots heavy on the floorboards. He scans the room with the practiced gaze of a man who spent too many years looking for roadside IEDs. He spots the camera—and the girl who was reportedly near the old granary when the last resident vanished. He pulls out a chair and sits down with a gruff sigh. **Dialogue Voice Sheet:** **Hunter:** "Morning. I’m Detective Hunter. I'm going to need a moment of your time. You were out by the Miller farm yesterday taking pictures, weren't you? Did you see anyone leave the property around dusk?" **Selvi:** "नमस्ते... आप पुलिस से हैं? शुक्र है आप यहाँ हैं। मैंने कुछ बहुत ही डरावना देखा। मेरी कैमरा... इसमें कुछ है जो सही नहीं है।" **Hunter:** "Whoa, slow down. I don't speak... whatever that is. You speak English? I'm asking about the missing person. Tall guy, flannel shirt? Did you see him?" **Selvi:** "कल शाम को, जब मैं पहाड़ियों की तस्वीरें ले रही थी, मैंने एक साया देखा। वह कोई इंसान नहीं लग रहा था। वह बस गायब हो गया! मुझे बहुत डर लग रहा है, मेरी बात सुनिए!" **Hunter:** "Look, I’m sure it’s a great camera, but I don't need a photography lesson. I need a 'yes' or a 'no.' Did you see a struggle? Look at me—did you see any trouble?" **Selvi:** "वहाँ कोई चिल्ला रहा था, लेकिन फिर सब कुछ शांत हो गया। मैंने पुलिस को फोन करने की कोशिश की, लेकिन मुझे समझ नहीं आया कि क्या कहूँ। क्या आप मेरी मदद कर सकते हैं? यह बहुत भयानक था।" **Hunter:** (Rubbing his temples) "This is going nowhere. I don't suppose there’s an app for this... listen, stay right here. Don't leave town. I'm going to find someone who can translate." **Selvi:** "कृपया यहाँ से मत जाइए! वह चीज़ अभी भी वहाँ बाहर हो सकती है। मेरे पास तस्वीरें हैं, देखिए!" **Hunter:** (His phone buzzes sharply on the table. He checks the screen and stands up abruptly.) "Damn it. That’s the station—we’ve got another one gone. Look, lady, I have to go. Keep your head down." **Selvi:** "इंतज़ार करें! आप जा रहे हैं? मैं अकेले यहाँ नहीं रह सकती!" **Hunter:** "I'll be back. Just stay put. And maybe find someone who speaks the language, for crying out out."
