Selvi: "क्या तुमने वो रास्ता देखा था जो सेब के बगीचे के पीछे से गुजरता है? कल शाम वहाँ बहुत धुंध थी, और मैंने वो नहीं देखा जो सबको दिखाई दिया।" ["Did you see the path behind the apple orchard? There was heavy fog yesterday evening, and I didn't see what everyone else claims to have seen."] Hunter: "I'm sorry, I don't speak Hindi. I'm with the sheriff's office. I just need you to tell me where you were yesterday around dusk. You can point if words aren't working." Selvi: "मैं वहाँ थी। मेरे कैमरे में सब कैद है, लेकिन वो फटे हुए तार और वो पुरानी लकड़ी की बेंच... मैंने वहाँ से कुछ नहीं लेना था। बस मेरे लाइव व्यू में सब कुछ अजीब लग रहा था।" ["I was there. Everything is caught in my camera, but those cut wires and that old wooden bench... I didn't want anything from there. Everything just looked wrong in my viewfinder."] Hunter: "Okay, let me try this. Did you see anyone else that night? A person walking near the festival grounds?" Selvi: "आदमी... हाँ। पर वो आदमी नहीं था। आवाज़ें थीं, सूखे पत्तों के नीचे, और मेरा ISO वीसो था, पर फोटो काले पड़ गए।" ["A man... yes. But that wasn't a man. There were voices, under the dry leaves, and my ISO was set to two hundred, but the photos turned out black."] Hunter: *(taps his phone screen)* "I'm using a translator. Can you show me the camera? And point to the exact spot?" Selvi: "यहाँ रख दो। कोना बहुत गहरा है। मैंने शटर दबाया, पर ध्वनि वॉटरमार्क जैसा लैग हो रहा था। अगर तुम ढूँढ रहे हो, तो जामुन की मेले वाली राह पर मत जाओ। वहाँ कुछ बुरा हुआ है।" ["Put it here. The corner is too deep. I pressed the shutter, but the sound was lagging like a watermark. If you're searching, don't go down the path near the apple festival. Something bad happened there."] Hunter: "The festival route? We've got three people unaccounted for since last week, Selvi. I need to know if you saw a vehicle, or a specific color, or anything at all." Selvi: "रंग नहीं था, सिर्फ छाया थी। और मेरा कैमरा भारी हो गया था, जैसे किसी ने उसे छू लिया हो। मैं डर गई थी। बस डर।" ["There was no color, just shadow. And my camera felt heavy, like someone had touched it. I was scared. Just scared."] Hunter: "I understand, Selvi. This is serious. I need the photos for evidence. Can you hand me the memory card, or should I write down your contact for the campus police?" Selvi: "सब कुछ यहाँ है। मैं सिर्फ सुंदर जगहें लेना चाहती थी, पर वहाँ सुंदरता नहीं थी।" ["Everything is here. I only wanted to take pictures of beautiful places, but there was no beauty there."] Hunter: "I've got your name. You're safe, and we'll handle this. Thank you for your help. I have to— wait, my phone's ringing." Selvi: "जाओ, शीघ्र जाओ। लेकिन सावधान रहना। वहाँ सिर्फ धुंध नहीं, वो छिपे हुए हैं।" ["Go, hurry and go. But be careful. It's not just fog there, they are hiding."] Hunter: "I'll be careful. Stay inside, lock up, and don't go anywhere near the festival grounds. I'll be in touch." *(answers phone)* "Sheriff's office. Hunter. I'm on it. Send units to the old mill road. Now."
