Selvi: “Kya… aap bhi Alborn me ho?” Selvi: “Main—main bas yahan baithi hoon… aur apni photo khinch rahi thi. Lekin kal raat… kuch hua.” Selvi: “Aap ne apple festival ke baare me suna hoga, na?” Selvi: “Par uske just pehle—woh log… jo gayab ho gaye… kisi ne dekha nahi?” Hunter: “Detective Hunter. I’ve been asking around about the disappearances. You’re not from here?” Hunter: “And—yeah, I know about the apple festival. This town goes nuts for it.” Hunter: “Tell me what you saw. No guessing. Just facts.” Selvi: “Main… fact bol rahi hoon.” Selvi: “Kal shaam… main park ke paas thi. Landscape photography.” Selvi: “Maine apple orchard ki roshni aur mist ko capture karne ki koshish ki.” Selvi: “Tabhi, ek car… kaafi tez… rukki.” Selvi: “Windows par—kuch dhundhla tha. Aise… jaise koi chipka hua ho, but clear nahi.” Hunter: “A car. What kind? Color? Any plates?” Hunter: “You said you didn’t come from here—so why were you there so late?” Selvi: “Main late nahi thi… bas time ka idea badal gaya.” Selvi: “Car ka rang… mujhe neela ya grey laga. Plate… plate dhundhli thi.” Selvi: “Aur main—main Hindi me bolungi, par… mujhe nahi pata aap samjhenge ya nahi.” Hunter: “I only speak English.” Hunter: “So you’ll have to—listen, just try to use simpler words. What did you hear?” Selvi: “Maine awaaz suni.” Selvi: “Ek—ek chhota sa chehra… yaad nahi… koi ‘help’ jaisa kuch.” Selvi: “Phir… kuch bandh, jaise—jaise koi gate ya trunk close ho gaya ho.” Selvi: “Aur phir… sab chup.” Hunter: “So you heard someone, then a vehicle. And you didn’t call it in?” Hunter: “Why didn’t you report it immediately?” Selvi: “Main dar gayi thi.” Selvi: “Main akeli thi. Aur… main samajh nahi paa rahi thi ki main kya karun.” Selvi: “Main ne—main ne camera uthaya, kyunki agar main kuch galat dekhti hoon toh?” Selvi: “Ab… mujhe lag raha hai, maine kuch galat nahi dekha.” Hunter: “You have photos?” Hunter: “Show me what you captured.” Hunter: “Anything that shows the car, the orchard path, a time stamp—anything.” Selvi: “Haan.” Selvi: “Lekin… abhi main shak ki wajah se camera ko touch karne se bhi darti hoon.” Selvi: “Kal jab main laptop kholi, ek photo me… ek figure tha.” Selvi: “Woh… woh face clear nahi hai, par—par aankhon me dar.” Hunter: “You’re making it sound worse than it has to be.” Hunter: “Look, I’m not here to judge you. I’m here to find people.” Hunter: “Just answer the questions, okay?” Selvi: “Maine sirf… socha tha ki koi aur camera se yaad karega.” Selvi: “Par jab woh log gayab hue… toh sab ka sab ek jaisa lagta hai.” Selvi: “Apple festival me sab hansi hansi. Lekin park me koi hansi nahi.” Selvi: “Main shaken hoon.” Hunter: “You keep saying you’re shaken. I get it, but I need details.” Hunter: “Who else was around you? Any witnesses? Any staff at the park?” Selvi: “Ek lady thi… kiosk pe.” Selvi: “Uske paas sign tha—‘Fresh cider’.” Selvi: “Woh mujhe dekh ke smile ki, phir—phir uski smile gayab ho gayi.” Selvi: “Jaise usne car ko pehle se notice kiya ho.” Hunter: “Name? Where is the kiosk owner now?” Hunter: “Do you remember what she looked like?” Selvi: “Main English me naam nahi bol sakti.” Selvi: “Par—woh—red jacket, aur gray scarf.” Selvi: “Aur baal… dark, shoulder length.” Selvi: “Woh mujhe pooch rahi thi ki main ‘where you from’ bolke.” Hunter: “Okay. Red jacket, gray scarf. I can work with that.” Hunter: “One more thing—what time roughly? Before midnight? After?” Selvi: “Raat… 11 ke aas-paas.” Selvi: “Aur car… 5—10 minute shayad.” Selvi: “Phir sound band.” Selvi: “Main—main ne apne phone me clock check kiya tha, but ab… mujhe lagta hai, time bhi galat ho sakta hai.” Hunter: “No, time matters. Even approximate is better than nothing.” Hunter: “Did anyone else see you, or your camera?” Selvi: “Shayad security.” Selvi: “Lekin woh jab main wapas aayi, gate open nahi tha.” Selvi: “Jaise… kisi ne gate lock karna bhool gaya ho, but phir yaad aa gaya.” Hunter: “You’re sure about that?” Hunter: “Because that’s a pretty specific detail.” Selvi: “Haan. Main sure hoon.” Selvi: “Aur isliye main troubled hoon.” Selvi: “Aap ko shayad pata hoga—Alborn chhota hai. Sab log ek dusre ko jaante hain.” Selvi: “Par us raat… koi bhi kuch nahi bol raha.” Hunter: “That’s because people are scared.” Hunter: “Or they’re keeping secrets.” Hunter: “Either way, we’ll find the truth.” Selvi: “Please… agar aap ko mera photo use karna ho, toh—main help karungi.” Selvi: “Lekin please… kisi ko mat batana ki maine dekha.” Selvi: “Main nahi chahti ki woh log dobara aaye.” Hunter: “I can’t promise what others do, but I’ll keep you protected as much as I can.” Hunter: “Just—give me the photos, and I’ll handle the rest.” Selvi: “Aap bolte kaise ho… English me?” Selvi: “Main samajh gayi… aap serious ho.” Selvi: “Main—main camera me sab hai.” Hunter: “Good.” Hunter: “We’ll go over it. Slowly.” Hunter: “And you’ll need to come to the station—there are people I want you to point out.” Selvi: “Station?” Selvi: “Abhi…?” Selvi: “Mujhe dar lag raha hai.” Hunter: “Detective work isn’t comfortable.” Hunter: “It’s better than waiting.” Hunter: *Phone rings* “Yeah—hold on.” Hunter: *under his breath* “Damn it.” Hunter: “I’ve got to take this.” Selvi: “Kya hua?” Hunter: “Something just came in. I can’t ignore it.” Hunter: “Stay here. Don’t go anywhere.” Hunter: “If you can, ask the cashier for the owner’s name at the park kiosk—red jacket, gray scarf.” Hunter: “Write it down in whatever language you have. I’ll translate later.” Selvi: “Thik hai.” Selvi: “Main yahan rahungi.” Selvi: “Aap wapas aaoge?” Hunter: “I will.” Hunter: “And Selvi—” Selvi: “Haan?” Hunter: “Try not to delete anything off your camera. Not for anyone.” Selvi: “Main delete nahi karungi.” Selvi: “Aap jao.” Selvi: “Please… jaldi.” Hunter: “I’m going.” Hunter: “Don’t worry. This town is small. We’ll circle back.”
