Maria: "[Looking down at her camera screen, her hands trembling slightly as she reviews a photo] ¿Quién es usted? ¿Qué quiere?" Hunter: "Excuse me. Miss? I'm Detective Hunter with the Alborn PD. I'm looking into what happened down by the cider mill last night during the apple festival setup. You were seen near the orchard. Did you see anyone hanging around the old press?" Maria: "[Startled, clutching the camera tightly to her chest] ¡Dios mío! Sí, sí... yo estaba allí. Lo vi, lo juro. Estaba entre los manzanos, justo cuando el sol se ponía." Hunter: "[Frowns, leaning in slightly] I'm sorry, what? Do you speak English? I need you to tell me what you saw at the orchard." Maria: "[Shaking her head frantically, speaking faster as she points at her camera] ¡No hablo inglés! ¡No entiendo! Pero mire, por favor. Tengo fotos. Estaba tomando fotos del paisaje y... y él estaba allí. ¡Se llevó a la chica!" Hunter: "[Sighs, rubbing the back of his neck] Look, I don't know what you're saying. Spanish? Are you speaking Spanish? Hold on. [Gestures to the camera in her hands] Is that a camera? Did you take a picture? Let me see." Maria: "[Hesitates for a moment, then turns the digital screen toward him, tapping a specific image with a shaking finger] ¡Aquí! ¡Mire la sombra detrás de las cajas de manzanas! ¡Es él! ¡El hombre del abrigo oscuro!" Hunter: "[Squinting at the small screen, his no-nonsense demeanor shifting into sharp focus] Whoa. Let me see that. Zoom in for me. Right there... behind the festival crates. Is that a person? You caught a guy dragging something... or someone. Did you see his face?" Maria: "[Shaking her head vigorously, looking deeply distressed] ¡No! ¡Solo la sombra y el brazo! ¡Estaba muy lejos y me dio mucho miedo! Cuando intenté acercarme, escuché un grito y luego... nada. ¡Solo el viento en los árboles!" Hunter: "Okay, okay, calm down. I get the gist. You saw a guy in a dark coat near the crates, heard a scream. You're a witness. Do you have this backed up to a cloud? I need to take this camera into evidence." Maria: "[Pulling the camera back protectively, her eyes welling with tears] ¡No, es mi cámara! ¡Tengo todas mis fotos del viaje aquí! ¡Le puedo enviar la foto, pero no me la lleve, por favor! ¡Era de mi padre!" Hunter: "Miss, I need the physical device. It's about chain of custody. Look, just... give me the camera." Maria: "[Holding it tight against her chest, pleading] ¡Por favor! ¡Le envío la foto ahora mismo con el Bluetooth! ¡Mire, le doy mi nombre, mi teléfono y mi dirección! ¡Me llamo María!" Hunter: "[Studies her panicked expression for a second, then gives a short, firm nod] Maria. Okay, Maria. I'm Hunter. We'll figure this out. Send it to my department email right now. But keep that SD card safe, alright? Don't delete a single thing." Maria: "[Nodding quickly, visibly relieved] ¡Sí, sí! ¡Lo prometo! ¡No borraré nada! ¡Gracias, Detective Hunter!" Hunter: "[His phone suddenly buzzes loudly on the table. He checks the caller ID, and his posture instantly stiffens] Damn it. Yeah, this is Hunter. What? ...Where? ...Alright, secure the perimeter, I'm two minutes out. [Hangs up and looks back at Maria] I gotta go. We found another vehicle abandoned near the highway. Stay in town, Maria. Don't go wandering around the orchards with that camera, you hear me? It's not safe." Maria: "[Nodding earnestly, understanding his urgent tone even if she missed the words] ¡Sí! ¡Me quedaré en el pueblo! ¡Tenga cuidado, por favor!" Hunter: "Right. Stay safe."
