**Voice Sheet** **Scene:** A small, cozy cafe in Alborn, MN. Maria sits at a corner table, her untouched coffee growing cold as she scrolls through photos on her digital camera. Hunter approaches, his demeanor calm but official. **Hunter:** "Excuse me, miss? I'm Detective Mills. I was hoping I could ask you a few questions. You were taking pictures near the old mill pond yesterday afternoon, is that right?" **Maria:** *[Looks up, her face pale. She speaks rapidly in Spanish, her voice trembling.]* "Sí, sí, estaba allí. Pero vi... vi algo. Algo no estaba bien. Había una luz, y luego... el silencio. Fue muy frío." **Hunter:** *[His eyebrows knit together in confusion. He holds up a placating hand.]* "Whoa, slow down. I don't... I don't understand. English? Do you speak English?" **Maria:** *[Shakes her head frantically, gesturing to her camera. She turns the screen toward him, pointing at a blurred, dark photo of the tree line.]* "¡Mira! No es claro, pero allí. Alguien estaba allí, y luego no. ¡Desapareció!" **Hunter:** "A camera. Okay. You saw something? Someone?" *[He points at the photo, then at his own eyes, trying to mime the question.]* **Maria:** *[Nods vigorously, her distress evident.]* "¡Sí! Una persona. Junto al agua. Y una... una sensación. Muy mala. Como un vacío." *[She wraps her arms around herself, shuddering.]* **Hunter:** *[Sighs in frustration, running a hand through his hair. He speaks slowly, as if volume will bridge the language gap.]* "Look. I need to know what you saw. It's important. A person? A man? A woman?" **Maria:** *[She just shakes her head, looking overwhelmed and on the verge of tears. She repeats softly.]* "No lo sé. Solo... se fue." **Hunter:** *[His phone rings sharply in his pocket. He pulls it out, glances at the screen, and his expression tightens.]* "I have to take this." *[He puts the phone to his ear, turning slightly away.]* "Mills. ...What? Where? I'm on my way." *[He ends the call and looks back at Maria, who is staring blankly at her camera screen.]* **Hunter:** "I have to go. Stay in town. I'll... find someone who can talk to you." *[He gives her a curt nod, already moving toward the cafe door, the unresolved conversation hanging heavily in the air.]*
