--- **Selvi:** *(glancing up from her camera, sensing someone’s presence but not looking up immediately)* ... ? **Hunter:** *(pulling out the chair across from her and sitting down)* Afternoon. You’re the girl who’s always got that camera around your neck, right? Selvi, isn’t it? **Selvi:** *(looks up, eyes slightly wide, nods slowly)* हाँ... सेल्वी। *(Haan... Selvī.)* *(her gaze shifts to the camera in her hands; fingers tighten around it)* **Hunter:** You know anything about what happened near the old Miller farm last night? **Selvi:** *(sharply looks up, pupils widening; voice low and uneasy)* मिलर वाले खेत में? ... *(grips camera strap, looks down again, mutters)* ...उस रात... मैंने कुछ देखा... **Hunter:** *(leaning forward slightly, tone firm but patient)* What did you see? **Selvi:** (shaking head, voice trembling, speaking rapidly in Hindi) नहीं... बस... लोग गायब हो रहे हैं... और वहाँ... *(gestures vaguely toward the window, in the direction of the Miller farm)* ...अंधेरा थोड़ा... अलग दिखता था... **Hunter:** *(frowning, hands up in a calming gesture)* Slow down. I don’t speak Hindi. You’re talking about the disappearances? **Selvi:** *(nods quickly, eyes darting around the cafe)* हाँ... हाँ... और रात बहुत तेज हवा थी... मुझे लगा... मैंने देखा... **Hunter:** *(pulls out phone, opens notes app)* Okay, okay. Start again. What did you see near the Miller farm last night, Selvi? Was it someone, a light, something? **Selvi:** *(voice drops, eyes locked on Hunter’s face, terrified)* मैं... मैंने एक आदमी देखा... जीन्स और जैकेट पहने... दूर खड़ा था... लेकिन उसका चेहरा... *(shakes head vigorously)* सब कुछ काला लग रहा था! उसके हाथ में कुछ था... चमकता हुआ... **Hunter:** *(immediately alert, sitting up straighter)* A light? A weapon? Describe it. **Selvi:** *(shaking her head, confused)* पता नहीं... चमक... जैसे फ्लैश... उसने मुड़कर मुझे देखा... *(gasps, hands fly to mouth)* और तब... तभी... **Hunter:** What? What happened then? **Selvi:** *(whispers, eyes darting)* मेरे कैमरे का फ्लैश... पूरी रात उसने मेरे कैमरे से उनकी तस्वीरें लीं... *(Hunter pauses, studying her face. She clutches her camera like a lifeline.)* **Hunter:** Hold on. You’re saying someone took pictures of you last night? At the Miller farm? **Selvi:** *(nods slowly, then more vigorously)* हाँ... हाँ... वे हर चीज़ की तस्वीर ले रहे थे... और तब... मैंने उससे पूछा... *(whispers)* उसने जवाब नहीं दिया... **Hunter:** Asked him *what*, Selvi? **Selvi:** *(looks down, voice almost inaudible)* "तुम क्या कर रहे हो?" *(Long pause. Selvi stares at her camera, lips pressed tight. Hunter exhales sharply through his nose, glancing at his watch.)* **Hunter:** Selvi—look at me. I need you to come down to the station. We’ll get an interpreter. You might have seen something critical. **Selvi:** (shakes head rapidly) नहीं... नहीं... मैं... *(looks around anxiously)* मुझे डर लग रहा है... **Hunter:** *(stands up, takes out phone)* Officer Kapoor’s already on his way. She speaks Hindi. Ten minutes, okay? **Selvi:** *(looking down at the camera, voice low and shaky)* ...मुझे मेरी तस्वीरें लेनी हैं... **Hunter:** *(pauses, then softer)* We’ll get them. For now, stay here. Don’t go anywhere. *(He turns to leave, then suddenly stops mid-step, pulls his phone from his pocket—it’s vibrating.)* **Hunter:** *(answering, brisk)* Carson. Yeah. Where? *(He listens, face darkening. A beat. Then, without another word to Selvi, he ends the call and strides toward the door.)* **Hunter:** *(over his shoulder)* Stay put. Kapoor’s on her way. *(Selvi doesn’t look up. She watches his departing back, fingers trembling around her camera.)* --- End scene.
