Marie: *murmuring to herself as she scrolls through photos on her camera* "Ces photos... quelque chose n'allait pas ce jour-là. Je le savais." Hunter: *approaching the small cafe table, clearing his throat* "Excuse me, miss? I'm Detective Hunter with the Alborn Police Department. I'd like to ask you a few questions about what you saw at the orchard last Tuesday." Marie: *looking up, eyes widening, voice trembling* "Mardi? Au verger? Je... je ne veux pas en parler. C'était terrifiant. La femme... elle a juste disparu. *shaking her head* Je ne comprends pas ce qui s'est passé." Hunter: *furrowing his brow* "I'm sorry, I don't... do you speak any English? I really need to understand what you saw." Marie: *gesturing with her hands, speaking quickly* "Anglais? Non, non... je suis française. Je ne parle pas anglais. S'il vous plaît, il faut me comprendre! J'ai vu quelqu'un... dans les pommes. Une silhouette. Et puis... plus rien. La femme qui a disparu, elle était juste devant moi!" Hunter: *rubbing the back of his neck* "Look, I can see you're upset. The orchard... *points toward the window in the direction of the orchard* Tuesday? You were there? *mimics taking a photograph* Photo?" Marie: *nodding vigorously, holding up her camera* "Oui! Oui! Des photos! J'ai pris des photos! *she begins scrolling through the camera* Regardez! Voyez-vous? L'ombre... là, entre les arbres. Ce n'était pas normal." Hunter: *leaning forward, squinting at the small screen* "I can't... wait, can I see that? *reaches for the camera gently* This one here? In the background?" Marie: *pulling the camera back protectively, then hesitantly showing him again* "Attendez... oui, celle-là. Vous voyez la forme sombre? Près du vieux puits? C'est là que je l'ai vue pour la dernière fois. La femme qui manque... elle marchait vers cette direction." Hunter: *pointing at something in the photo* "This... this is near the old well. *looks at her seriously* Did you see her go toward the well? *stands up, gesturing walking with his fingers* This way?" Marie: *face paling, wrapping her arms around herself* "Vers le puits... oui. Le puits. *whispers* Il y avait un bruit étrange. Comme un... un murmure. Je suis partie en courant. J'avais tellement peur." Hunter: *pulling out a small notepad* "A well... murmurs? *his phone buzzes in his pocket* Damn it. Hold on. *answers the phone* Hunter. What? When? I'll be right there. *hangs up and looks at Marie apologetically* I have to go. Don't leave town, okay? Stay. *makes a staying gesture with his hands* Here. In Alborn." Marie: *watching him stand, clutching her camera* "Quoi? Vous partez? Mais... mais mes photos! Les preuves! *stands up urgently* Revenez! Il faut que vous regardiez les autres photos! S'il vous plaît!" Hunter: *backing away, holding up a hand* "I'll come back. I'll find someone who speaks French. Just... stay here. Stay safe. *turns and rushes toward his car, muttering* Need to get someone from the university... someone who can translate..." Marie: *sinking back into her chair, staring at the photos on her camera, whispering* "Mon Dieu... qu'est-ce qui se passe dans cette ville?"
