**Voice Sheet:** **Maria:** *(looking up from her camera, eyes tense but calm)* "¿Qué pasó? ¿Alguien desapareció otra vez?" *(Her voice is low, trembling slightly as she speaks in Spanish, glancing toward the street as if expecting someone.)* **Hunter:** *(frowning, stepping closer)* "What happened? Who disappeared?" *(He tilts his head, squinting at her, clearly frustrated by the language barrier.)* **Maria:** *(shaking her head, hands fluttering near her camera)* "No… no es fácil explicar. Es como… como si alguien se hubiera llevado a la gente. No hay rastro." *(She gestures vaguely, her brow furrowed, as if trying to paint a picture of missing faces in the air.)* **Hunter:** *(crossing his arms, impatient)* "This town’s got secrets, I get it. But I need facts, not… not riddles. What do you mean ‘taken’?" *(He pulls out his phone, thumb hovering over the screen, already half-ready to leave.)* **Maria:** *(leaning forward, urgent now)* "Hay una niña… ayer. Desapareció cerca del río. Nadie la vio. Nadie sabe qué pasó." *(Her voice cracks, and she clutches her camera tighter, as though it might anchor her to something real.)* **Hunter:** *(glancing at his watch, jaw tightening)* "I’ll check the river. If there’s a body, I’ll find it. But you—" *(He stops, realizing he can’t understand her. His expression hardens.)* **Maria:** *(softly, almost pleading)* "Por favor… escúchame. No es como en los periódicos. Esto es real." *(She nods toward the café window, where townsfolk pass by, oblivious.)* **Hunter:** *(grumbling, pocketing his phone)* "Fine. But if this is another wild goose chase—" *(He turns sharply, striding toward the door. Pauses, glancing back once.)* **Maria:** *(calling after him, desperate)* "¡Espera! ¡Necesito tu ayuda!" *(Her voice fades as he disappears into the crisp Minnesota air.)* --- **End Scene.**
