Selvi: “*Aap…* (You)… aap kaun hain? Main theek hoon…” Selvi: “*Aaj subah…* (This morning…) apple festival ke paas kuch… kuch ajeeb hua hai.” Selvi: “Mere dost…” Selvi: “*Woh gayab ho gaya.* (He disappeared.)” Selvi: “Main camera leke gayi thi—main photo khinch rahi thi—aur phir… sab chup ho gaya.” Selvi: “*Koyi* (Someone) kuch nahi bata raha… aur jab maine poochha, log bas door dekhne lage.” Selvi: “Main… main kaap rahi hoon.” Hunter: “Uh. You speaking English?” Hunter: “No-nonsense question: what happened at the festival grounds?” Hunter: “Who disappeared?” Hunter: “Name. Time. Location.” Selvi: “*Mujhe shayad…* (Maybe I…) main English nahi jaanti…” Selvi: “*Lekin* (But) main dekh sakti thi.” Selvi: “Apple festival ke din—whisky stand ke paas—ek aadmi…” Selvi: “*Unka naam* (His name) Raghav… tha.” Selvi: “*Lagbhag* (About) nau baje… aur phir…” Selvi: “*Bas saans ruk gayi.* (It was like the air stopped.)” Hunter: “Raghav. Nine o’clock. Whisky stand. Looked away and he was gone.” Hunter: “Okay.” Hunter: “Does anyone have security footage?” Hunter: “Anybody see someone walking away?” Hunter: “And where were you standing when you noticed it?” Selvi: “Main…” Selvi: “*Yahin* (Here)… main bench ke paas thi.” Selvi: “Main landscape ke liye photo le rahi thi.” Selvi: “*Kuchh der* (For a while…) main phone mein settings dekh rahi thi…” Selvi: “Phir jab camera uthaya…” Selvi: “*Woh wahan nahi tha.* (He wasn’t there anymore.)” Selvi: “Aur… kisi ne mujhe roka bhi nahi.” Selvi: “Log bas…” Selvi: “*Darr rahe the.* (They were afraid.)” Hunter: “Afraid.” Hunter: “That tells me there’s more going on than a missing person.” Hunter: “Look—stay calm.” Hunter: “Can you point me to where you were taking photos?” Hunter: “Just—gesture, if you have to.” Selvi: “(She grips her camera tighter, then points toward the window, toward the direction of the festival grounds.)” Selvi: “*Yahin se…* (From here…) aur uske baad…” Selvi: “*Woh gate tak* (to that gate)…” Selvi: “*Aur phir* (and then) crowd… crowded.” Hunter: “Got it.” Hunter: “You said you don’t speak English—so how did you understand people?” Hunter: “Were they saying something specific?” Selvi: “*Nahi* (No). Bas… tone.” Selvi: “*Jab main poochhna chhodi,* sab ne jawab band kar diya.” Selvi: “*Main hairan thi* (I was confused).” Selvi: “*Mujhe lagta hai* (I think) woh log sach nahi bol rahe.” Selvi: “Aur main… main bahut worried hoon.” Hunter: “Worried for who?” Hunter: “You or him?” Selvi: “*Dono.* (Both.)” Selvi: “Aap…” Selvi: “*Aap mujhe samajh rahe hain?* (Are you understanding me?)” Hunter: “Not enough.” Hunter: “But I believe you’re shaken.” Hunter: “And you have good eyes—your camera isn’t just a hobby.” Hunter: “Keep it.” Selvi: “*Haan.* (Yes.)” Selvi: “Main… main photo dikhati hoon.” Selvi: “*Par* (But) main nahi chhupa rahi—sab kuch de rahi hoon.” Hunter: “Okay. We’ll go through them later.” Hunter: “For now, you tell me the last place you saw him clearly.” Selvi: “*Us stand ke paas.* (Near that stand.)” Selvi: “*Phir*… crowd ne block kar diya.” Selvi: “*Aur* (And) jab crowd se nikli…” Selvi: “*Woh nahi tha.* (He wasn’t there.)” Hunter: “All right.” Hunter: “I’m going to ask you again—this is important—did you notice anyone watching you?” Selvi: “(She swallows, looks down at her camera.)” Selvi: “*Haan.* (Yes.)” Selvi: “Ek aadmi… *kapde* (clothes)… simple.” Selvi: “*Lekin* (But) aankhon mein…” Selvi: “*Thandi* (cold) cheez.” Hunter: “Describe him.” Selvi: “*Unka chehra* (His face)…” Selvi: “main… main clear nahi dekh paayi.” Selvi: “*Bas* (Just) uski jacket…” Selvi: “dark—*greenish.* (dark, greenish.)” Selvi: “Aur… *baal* (hair)… chhote.” Hunter: “Dark greenish jacket. Short hair.” Hunter: “That’s something.” Hunter: “Stay here, okay? Don’t wander off.” Selvi: “*Main theek hoon.* (I’m okay.)” Selvi: “Lekin… aap ja rahe hain?” Hunter: “I have to.” Hunter: “That phone’s been ringing.” Selvi: “(Her voice softens, worried.)” Selvi: “*Aap wapas aayenge?* (Will you come back?)” Hunter: “Yes.” Hunter: “—Hunter.” Hunter: “What?” Hunter: “Copy that. I’m on my way.” Hunter: “Hold tight.” Selvi: “(She watches him, trying to read the urgency in his face.)” Selvi: “*Kya hua?* (What happened?)” Hunter: “Later.” Hunter: “Don’t leave.” Hunter: “I’ll get someone who can translate.” Selvi: “*Theek hai.* (Okay.)” Selvi: “(She nods, clutching her camera, her eyes still wide with worry.)” Hunter: “Good.” Hunter: “Stay close.”
