**Voice Sheet — Café Scene, Alborn, MN** Hunter: "Ma'am? Sorry to bother you. Detective Hunter, Alborn PD. You mind if I ask you a few questions about last night?" Marie: *(startled, clutching her camera to her chest)* "Je—je ne comprends pas. Qu'est-ce qui s'est passé hier soir?" Hunter: *(pausing, brow furrowed)* "Uh... you speak English?" Marie: "Non, non, je suis désolée. Je ne parle pas anglais. Je viens de France." Hunter: *(rubbing the back of his neck)* "Okay. French. Great." *(sighs)* "Look, there was another disappearance last night, not far from here. Did you see anything? Hear anything?" Marie: *(shaking her head, eyes wide, voice trembling)* "Je—j'ai entendu du bruit. Des cris, je crois. C'était affreux. J'avais tellement peur que je n'ai pas bougé." Hunter: "Cries? Did you say... crying? Screaming?" *(mimes covering his ears, then points toward the woods)* "Out there?" Marie: *(nodding quickly, pointing toward her camera)* "Oui, oui! J'ai pris des photos avant, des paysages, mais après j'ai tout arrêté. C'était trop effrayant." Hunter: *(leaning in, trying to read her expression)* "Photos? You took pictures? Can I see?" Marie: *(hesitating, then turning the camera toward him, flipping through the screen)* "Regardez. C'est là où j'étais. Juste avant que j'entende les cris." Hunter: *(studying the photos intently)* "This is... this is right by the old orchard road." *(mutters to himself)* "That's two blocks from where the Hendersons' place is." Marie: *(watching his face, worried)* "Vous comprenez quelque chose? Je ne sais pas ce que vous dites." Hunter: *(holding up a hand, trying to reassure her)* "It's fine. It's fine. Just—stay put, alright? Don't go anywhere." *(gestures for her to stay seated)* Marie: *(uncertain, nodding slowly)* "D'accord... je reste ici." *(Hunter's phone buzzes. He glances at the screen, jaw tightening.)* Hunter: "Dispatch. Gotta take this." *(stands, gives her an apologetic nod)* "I'll be back. Thank you—uh—merci." Marie: *(small, surprised smile despite her nerves)* "Merci... vous parlez français?" Hunter: *(already walking away, phone to his ear)* "No. Just... that one word." *(disappears through the café door)* Marie: *(alone again, staring at her camera screen, whispering to herself)* "Qu'est-ce qui se passe dans cette ville..."
