# Voice Sheet — Cafe Scene, Alborn, MN --- Selvi: *murmuring to herself while reviewing photos on camera* "ये तस्वीरें... ये क्या है? वह शख्स... मैंने उसे देखा था..." *(These photos... what is this? That person... I saw him...)* Hunter: *approaching the table, flat tone* "Ma'am? I'm Detective Hunter with the Alborn Police Department. I need to ask you a few questions about what happened at the apple orchard two nights ago." Selvi: *startled, looking up with wide eyes* "वह... वह रात! मैं... मैंने जो देखा..." *(That... that night! I... what I saw...)* *voice shaking* "मुझे डर लग रहा है। वह आदमी—लाश... नहीं, नहीं, लाश नहीं, लेकिन... कुछ गलत था।" *(I'm scared. That man—body... no, no, not a body, but... something was wrong.)* Hunter: *furrowing brow* "I... I'm sorry, I don't understand. Can you speak English? Even a little?" Selvi: *shaking her head frantically, clutching camera* "मैं अंग्रेजी नहीं जानती! मैं... मैं भारत से हूँ। मैं यहाँ पढ़ने आई हूँ। प्लीज—कुछ... कोई..." *(I don't know English! I... I am from India. I came here to study. Please—something... someone...)* Hunter: *sighing, pulling out a small notepad* "India. Okay. You're a student." *pointing to her camera* "You take pictures. Photos. Were you at the orchard? With this?" *gesturing to the camera* Selvi: *understanding "photos" and "orchard" from context, nodding vigorously* "हाँ, हाँ! तस्वीरें! मैंने तस्वीरें ली थीं!" *(Yes, yes! Photos! I took photos!)* *scrolling through camera, turning it toward him* "देखो—ये! यह आदमी! वह लकड़ी के पीछे छिपा था!" *(Look—this! This man! He was hiding behind the trees!)* Hunter: *leaning in, squinting at the photo on the small screen* "Wait—hold on. That shadow behind the treeline... can you zoom in?" Selvi: *pressing buttons, trembling* "ये... ये बड़ा करती हूँ..." *(I... I will make this bigger...)* *zooming in on a dark figure partially obscured by apple trees* Hunter: *voice lowering, intense* "When was this taken? The timestamp—October 14th, 9:47 PM. That's the night Rebecca Malone went missing." *looking at her intently* "You saw this person. Did they see *you*?" Selvi: *face pale, whispering* "हाँ... हाँ, उसने मुझे देखा। मैंने जो कैमरा... flash... फ्लैश चला था। वह मुझे देख रहा था।" *(Yes... yes, he saw me. My camera... the flash went off. He was looking at me.)* Hunter: *jaw tightening* "The flash. He knew you were there." *sitting down across from her without asking* "Did he follow you? Did anyone approach you after that?" Selvi: *wiping tears, speaking quickly* "नहीं, नहीं follow... लेकिन—लेकिन मैं भागी। मैं चिल्लाई नहीं क्योंकि... क्योंकि मैं शब्द नहीं जानती। मैं किसी को बता नहीं सकती।" *(No, no follow... but—but I ran. I didn't scream because... because I don't know the words. I can't tell anyone.)* Hunter: *frustrated but controlled* "You couldn't report it because you couldn't—language. You couldn't explain." *slamming notepad on table softly* "I need these photos. All of them from that night. This could be evidence." Selvi: *hesitant, protective of camera* "मेरी तस्वीरें... लेकिन ये मेरी हैं। मैं..." *(My photos... but these are mine. I...)* *seeing his serious expression, softening* "ठीक है। ठीक है, लेकिन... कॉपी? मैं अपने कैमरे रखना चाहती हूँ।" *(Okay. Okay, but... copy? I want to keep my camera.)* Hunter: *nodding once* "Copy. I'll get someone to transfer the files. You keep the camera." *pausing* "You said he saw you. Has anything strange happened since? Anyone watching you? Following you to class?" Selvi: *staring at the table, voice barely audible* "हाँ... मुझे लगता है... कुछ दिनों से... जब मैं लाइब्रेरी जाती हूँ... कोई... कोई पीछे होता है। पर मैं साफ देख नहीं पाती।" *(Yes... I think... for a few days now... when I go to the library... someone... someone is behind me. But I can't see clearly.)* Hunter: *standing abruptly as phone rings* "Don't walk alone. Stay on main streets. I'll arrange—" *phone buzzing, Hunter glancing at screen* Hunter: *answering sharply* "Hunter. ...What? When? ...The south orchard? I'll be there in ten." *hanging up, turning to Selvi* "I have to go. Something's been found." *pointing at her firmly* "Stay here or go straight to your dorm. Don't take photos alone at night. Not until I say it's clear." Selvi: *nodding quickly, gripping camera to her chest* "ठीक है... जाओ। पर... पर मैं ठीक हूँ?" *(Okay... go. But... but am I safe?)* Hunter: *already stepping away, pausing at the door* "I'll find out. Stay in public places. Cafes like this—don't go anywhere quiet." Selvi: *watching him leave, whispering* "कृप्या... कृप्या मुझे सुरक्षित रखो..." *(Please... please keep me safe...)* --- *End of Scene*
