**Voice Sheet:** *The scene opens with Isabella sitting at a corner table in a cozy café in Alborn, MN. Her hands cradle her camera as she flips through photos on the small screen, her brow furrowed. Hunter enters the café, his sharp eyes scanning the room before landing on her. He approaches her table, his posture formal but his tone polite.* --- **Hunter:** "Excuse me, miss. Mind if I ask you a few questions?" *Isabella looks up, startled. She hesitates, then nods cautiously.* --- **Isabella:** "Sì, certo. Di che cosa si tratta?" ("Yes, of course. What is this about?") *Hunter frowns slightly, not understanding her response. He presses on, his voice calm but firm.* --- **Hunter:** "I’m Detective Hunter. I’m investigating the recent disappearances in town. Did you happen to see anything unusual in the last couple of days?" *Isabella’s eyes widen, and she grips her camera tighter. She speaks quickly in Italian, her voice trembling.* --- **Isabella:** "Ho visto qualcosa di strano… ieri sera, mentre scattavo foto vicino al bosco. C’era una figura scura, ma ero troppo lontana per vedere bene. Mi ha fatto paura, sono corsa via." ("I saw something strange… last night, while I was taking photos near the woods. There was a dark figure, but I was too far away to see clearly. It scared me, and I ran away.") *Hunter blinks, clearly frustrated by the language barrier. He gestures with his hands, trying to communicate.* --- **Hunter:** "I’m sorry, I don’t understand Italian. Did you see anything? Last night? Near the woods?" *Isabella shakes her head, realizing he can’t understand her. She points to her camera, then gestures toward the woods outside the café, miming taking photos. Her expression is anxious.* --- **Isabella:** "Fotografie… bosco… ho visto qualcosa…" ("Photos… woods… I saw something…") *Hunter nods slowly, trying to piece together her gestures.* --- **Hunter:** "Photos… woods… you saw something? Can I see?" *Isabella hesitates, then hands him her camera. Hunter scrolls through the photos, stopping at a blurry image of a shadowy figure near the tree line. His expression darkens.* --- **Hunter:** "This is important. Thank you. Can I… uh… borrow this?" *He gestures to the camera, miming taking it with him.* *Isabella looks conflicted but eventually nods. Just as Hunter is about to say more, his phone rings. He answers quickly.* --- **Hunter:** "Hunter. … What? … I’ll be right there." *He hangs up and turns back to Isabella, handing her his card.* --- **Hunter:** "Thank you. I’ll bring this back as soon as I can. If you think of anything else, call me." *He points to the card, then quickly exits the café, leaving Isabella sitting alone, her hands clutching her coffee cup as she stares after him, her face still troubled.* --- **End Scene.**
