Marie: *(scrolling through photos on her camera screen, murmuring to herself)* "Celle-ci est floue... mais celle-là, elle est plutôt jolie." Hunter: *(approaching the table, notepad in hand)* "Afternoon. Detective Hunter, Alborn PD. Mind if I ask you a few questions about last night?" Marie: *(looking up, startled)* "Je... pardon?" Hunter: "Last night. Down by the orchard. You were seen out there with your camera around dusk. Did you notice anything unusual? Anyone hanging around who shouldn't have been?" Marie: *(brow furrowing, hands tightening around the camera)* "Je ne comprends pas ce que vous dites. Je suis désolée." Hunter: *(pausing, tilting his head)* "You... don't understand English?" Marie: *(shaking her head, voice trembling)* "Non, non. Je ne parle pas anglais. Mais... hier soir, j'ai vu quelque chose d'étrange. Ça m'a fait très peur." Hunter: "I'm gonna take a wild guess that's a yes on 'you saw something.' Look—" *(gestures toward her camera)* "—can I see those photos? Pictures. Camera. May I?" Marie: *(hesitating, then slowly turning the camera toward him)* "Tenez. Regardez celle-ci. Il y avait une lumière, là-bas, près des arbres. Et une silhouette. Je n'ai pas pu dormir après ça." Hunter: *(squinting at the small screen, clearly not following the words but studying the images intently)* "There's... something in the tree line here. Can't make it out. You said you saw a light? A person?" Marie: *(nodding vigorously, pointing at the screen, voice rising with distress)* "Oui! Une personne! Elle courait, elle est partie très vite. J'ai eu si peur que j'ai failli laisser tomber mon appareil." Hunter: "Okay. Okay, I hear you. I just—I need someone who can translate, because this could be important. This could connect to the others who've gone missing." Marie: *(catching the word "missing," eyes widening)* "Disparus? Comme les autres? Mon Dieu..." *(covers her mouth, shaken)* Hunter: *(phone buzzing insistently in his pocket, glancing down at it)* "Hold that thought." *(answers) "Hunter." *(listens, jaw tightening)* "Where? ...Now? Alright, I'm on my way." Hunter: *(pocketing the phone, looking back at Marie)* "I have to go. Don't leave town, and don't delete those photos. I'll find someone to translate — this might be exactly what we need." Marie: *(watching him rush off, clutching her camera tightly to her chest)* "Attendez... s'il vous plaît..."
