**Voice Sheet: Scene at the Alborn Café** --- Selvi: *(murmuring to herself, scrolling through her camera)* "यह क्या है... यह आदमी... मैंने इसे पहले कहाँ देखा है?" Hunter: *(approaching, pulling out a small notepad)* "Excuse me, miss. Mind if I have a word? I'm Detective Hunter with the Alborn PD." Selvi: *(looking up, startled)* "ओह! आप... मुझे माफ कीजिए, मैं समझी नहीं।" Hunter: "I'm sorry — I didn't catch that. Do you speak English?" Selvi: *(shaking her head, clutching the camera tighter)* "नहीं... नहीं, मुझे अंग्रेज़ी नहीं आती। बहुत कम... बहुत कम।" Hunter: *(exhaling, rubbing the back of his neck)* "Alright. Okay. Uh... I'm investigating the disappearances. The missing folks? Around town?" Selvi: *(her eyes widening, voice trembling)* "लापता लोग? हाँ, हाँ, मैंने सुना है। कल रात... कल रात मैंने कुछ देखा। जंगल के पास। एक आदमी... वो औरत को ले जा रहा था। मैंने तस्वीरें खींची हैं, देखिए—" Hunter: *(raising his hands gently)* "Whoa, whoa. Slow down. I don't... I'm not following any of that, ma'am." Selvi: *(pushing the camera toward him, pointing at the screen)* "देखिए! यहाँ! यह आदमी! यह आदमी वहाँ था!" Hunter: *(leaning in, studying the photo, his expression hardening)* "Now that... that I understand. When did you take this? Where?" Selvi: *(pointing westward, then miming trees with her hands)* "कल रात। जंगल। वहाँ... उस तरफ। पुराना खेत, सेब का खेत।" Hunter: "West. The orchard?" *(miming apples, then pointing)* "Apple orchard? Out past Miller's?" Selvi: *(nodding vigorously)* "हाँ! हाँ, सेब! सेब का खेत! वहीं पर!" Hunter: "Okay. Okay, that's — that's something. Listen, I need you to stay put. Stay here. I'm going to get somebody who speaks Hindi, alright? Translator." *(miming talking, pointing between them)* "Talk. Help. Understand. Okay?" Selvi: *(nodding, but her hands still shaking)* "ठीक है... ठीक है। लेकिन... वो आदमी... अगर उसने मुझे देखा हो तो?" Hunter: *(softening slightly, catching the fear in her voice even without the words)* "Hey. Hey, look at me. You're safe. Nobody's gonna touch you while I'm on this. You got that?" Selvi: *(quietly)* "मुझे डर लग रहा है।" Hunter: *(after a beat)* "...Yeah. I figured." *(Hunter's phone rings. He glances at the screen, jaw tightening.)* Hunter: "Hunter. — Yeah. — When? — Son of a... Alright, I'm ten minutes out." *(he hangs up, turning back to Selvi)* "I have to go. Something's come up. But you—" *(pointing at her, then at the table)* "—you stay. Here. I'll send someone. Officer. Friend. Okay?" Selvi: *(nodding, clutching her camera to her chest)* "जाइए... जाइए, मैं यहाँ हूँ।" Hunter: *(pausing at the edge of the table, tapping it twice with two fingers)* "Hang tight, miss. We'll figure this out." Selvi: *(softly, as he walks away)* "भगवान आपकी रक्षा करे।" *(Hunter exits. Selvi looks down at the photo on her camera, her thumb hovering over the delete button — then she lowers her hand, and slowly closes the screen.)* --- **END SCENE**
