Marie: *(sitting alone at a café table, scrolling through photos on her camera, visibly distressed, hands trembling slightly)* Hunter: *(approaches the table, flips open his badge, then puts it away)* "Excuse me. I'm Detective Hunter. Mind if I sit down?" Marie: *(looks up, startled, clutches the camera to her chest)* "Oh — pardon? I... je ne comprends pas." Hunter: "I'm with the police. I'm trying to piece together what happened last night near the river. You were seen with a camera in that area." Marie: *(eyes widen, swallows hard, then speaks rapidly in French)* "Mon Dieu, la rivière — j'y étais. J'ai tout vu. Cet homme, il suivait une femme dans le noir. Je les ai photographiés. Et puis quand j'ai baissé l'appareil, quand j'ai regardé à nouveau — plus personne. Disparus. Comme volatilisés. Je n'ai pas dormi de la nuit, je n'ose plus sortir." Hunter: *(leans back slightly, brow furrowed)* "Okay... I really wish I knew what you were saying. You don't speak any English at all?" Marie: *(shakes her head slowly, then holds up the camera, pointing urgently at the screen)* "Photo. La photo. S'il vous plaît — regarde. Regarde." Hunter: "Can I see?" Marie: *(slides the camera across the table, hands still shaking)* "Oui, oui. Regarde." Hunter: *(stares at the image for a long beat, jaw tight)* "When was this taken?" Marie: "Hier soir. Hier soir — last night. The man... il marchait comme un fantôme. Et la femme... she was so scared. I can see it in her face." Hunter: "I need you to send this image to me. Email? You have email?" Marie: *(blank stare, then a small nod)* "E-mail... oui. J'ai e-mail." Hunter: "Good. I'm going to need you to come down to the station and go through these with a translator —" *(Hunter's phone rings. He glances at the screen, then at Marie.)* Hunter: "Hold on." *(stands, takes the call, steps a few feet away)* "Hunter. ...Yeah. ...Where? ...How long ago? ...I'm on my way." Marie: *(stands up, voice cracking)* "Quoi? Qu'est-ce qui se passe? Monsieur —" Hunter: *(already heading for the door, holstering his phone)* "I have to go. Something just came in. Stay in town, don't leave. I'll send someone back for you — someone who speaks French." Marie: "S'il vous plaît — I'm scared, monsieur! S'il vous plaît!" Hunter: *(pauses at the door, turns back briefly, face unreadable)* "Stay put. I'll be back." *(The café door swings shut behind him. Marie sinks back into her chair, staring at her camera.)*
