### Voice Sheet: Alborn, MN Corner Cafe Hunter: "Excuse me, ma'am. I'm Detective Hunter with the Pine County Sheriff's Office. A witness said you were out at the old town apple orchard taking photos the day 17-year-old Lila Martinez went missing. I need to ask you what you saw that day." Melanie: "Entschuldigung, ich verstehe kein Englisch. Ich… ich habe jemanden gesehen. Das Mädchen mit dem blauen Apfelfest-Pullover, ein Mann hat sie in einen weißen Lieferwagen gezerrt. Ich habe Fotos davon, er hat mich fast entdeckt!" (Translation: "Sorry, I don't understand any English. I… I saw someone. The girl with the blue apple festival hoodie, a man dragged her into a white van. I have photos of it, he almost found me!") Hunter: "Wait, hold on, that's not English. I don't speak a word of whatever that is. Can you slow down? Do you know any English at all? Hello? Can you even understand what I'm saying?" Melanie: "Hier, schau! Es ist alles auf meiner Kamera, sehen Sie? Ich kann das Kennzeichen nicht lesen, aber der Van hat Aufkleber von einem lokalen Gartenservice. Ich bin nur als Austauschstudent hier, ich sollte nächste Woche nach Deutschland zurückfahren, ich wusste nicht, wem ich das sagen soll! Niemand hier versteht mich!" (Translation: "Here, look! It's all on my camera, see? I can't read the license plate, but the van has stickers from a local landscaping company. I'm only here as an exchange student, I was supposed to go back to Germany next week, I didn't know who to tell! No one here understands me!") Hunter: "Ma'am, I can't help you if I can't parse a single thing you're saying. Stupid small-town cell service out here in Alborn—my translation app won't load. Wait, that camera you're shoving at me? Is that a photo of the man who took that girl? Can you point to something, slow down, I'm trying to help you." Melanie: "Ich habe ihn heute Morgen gesehen! Er stand am Straßenrand vor meinem Hotel, er hat mich angeguckt. Ich habe seit dem Tag in der Plantage nicht geschlafen, ich habe solche Angst, dass er mich findet weil ich die Fotos habe!" (Translation: "I saw him this morning! He was standing on the side of the road outside my hotel, he looked at me. I haven't slept since that day at the orchard, I'm so scared he'll find me because I have the photos!") Hunter: "Hey, hey, calm down, you're shaking. I'm not gonna hurt you, I'm a cop, look, here's my badge. I just need to figure out what you're trying to tell me, we're desperate to find Lila before someone else goes missing, this is the third disappearance in a month." Melanie: "Bitte, helfen Sie mir. Ich will nicht, dass er mich auch nimmt. Ich habe alle Fotos gespeichert, ich kann sie Ihnen geben, nur bitte, verstehen Sie mich endlich!" (Translation: "Please, help me. I don't want him to take me too. I saved all the photos, I can give them to you, just please, understand me finally!") Hunter: [picks up his blaring work phone, barking into the receiver] "Hunter here. What? You found Lila's backpack half-buried in the woods east of the orchard? I'm enroute right now." [shoves his phone in his pocket, tosses a sheriff's office business card on the table between them, voice tight with frustrated confusion] I have to leave, find someone who can translate and call that number! Bring your camera, we need whatever you have. I'll grab the only person in town who even took high school German to come track you down, just stay here, okay?
