Maria: "The light was perfect on the orchard rows this morning, so golden through the mist. I was just reviewing the photos when I saw... something near the old barn. Something that shouldn't be there." Hunter: "Ma'am, excuse me. I'm Detective Hunter with the Alborn PD. I'm looking into some recent disappearances in town. Did you happen to see anyone unusual near the apple festival grounds or the north orchards earlier today?" Maria: "¿Disappeared? No, no entiendo... I saw a man. He was dragging a large sack behind the silo. He looked very angry. When he saw my camera, he started running toward the woods. Estoy muy asustada, no sé qué hacer." Hunter: "I'm sorry, I don't speak... whatever that is. Spanish? Look, I just need to know if you saw a vehicle. A truck, maybe? Or a person fitting a specific description?" Maria: "Señor, por favor, listen to me! Un hombre, un saco grande, corriendo al bosque. I took pictures! Look, look at my screen. Here, he is here, near the trees." Hunter: "Hold on, let me see that screen. Is that... is that the back of the Miller property? Okay, I see a figure, but the resolution is grainy. Can you tell me what he was wearing? A jacket? A hat?" Maria: "Sí, sí! Una chaqueta roja. Red jacket. And blue jeans. He had a limp, walking funny on the left leg. Why are you not understanding me? This is important!" Hunter: "Red jacket, blue jeans, limping on the left. Okay, that matches a witness report from the diner. You're saying he went into the woods behind the silo? Do you know which way he headed once he entered the tree line?" Maria: "Sí, hacia el río. Toward the river. Please, you have to go there quickly. I think... I think someone was in that sack. It was moving." Hunter: "Moving sack. Toward the river. Got it. This is good intel, ma'am. We need to get you down to the station to formalize this statement and get someone who speaks your language to translate the rest of what you're saying. Can you come with me?" Maria: "¿A la estación de policía? Sí, okay. But please, hurry. The river is cold this time of year." Hunter: "We'll move fast. Just stay close to m—" *(Hunter's phone rings loudly, breaking the moment. He glances at the caller ID, his expression hardening.)* Hunter: "Damn it. It's the Sheriff. Look, I have to take this; it sounds like they found another car near the county line. Stay right here at this table. Do not leave. I'm sending a patrol car to pick you up in five minutes to take you to the station. Wait for them, okay?" Maria: "¿Qué? You are leaving? But the man in the red jacket—" Hunter: "I know, I know. Just stay put. The officers coming will help you. I have to go." *(Hunter answers the phone, turning his back immediately and striding away toward his cruiser, leaving Maria clutching her camera, still speaking rapidly in Spanish to his retreating figure.)* Maria: "Pero espere! No hablo inglés con los otros oficiales... ¡Señor Hunter!"
