**Voice Sheet – Scene: The Café in Alborn, MN** **Setting:** A small, rustic café on Main Street. Maria sits alone at a corner table, staring at the back of her camera. Hunter enters, spots her, and approaches. --- **Hunter:** "Excuse me. You're Maria, right? The woman who was near the apple orchard yesterday?" **Maria:** *(Looks up, startled. She touches her chest.)* "Sí, soy yo. ¿Qué pasó? ¿Han encontrado a alguien?" **Hunter:** *(Frowns, leans in slightly.)* "I'm sorry, I don't understand. I'm Detective Hunter. I need to ask you about a disturbance reported near the festival grounds—around noon. You were there, taking pictures. Can you tell me what you saw?" **Maria:** *(Swallows, voice trembling.)* "No sé… no sé si debo hablar. Vi algo terrible. Una sombra, detrás de las carpas. Y luego el hombre… desapareció. Simplemente desapareció." **Hunter:** *(Rubs the back of his neck, clearly lost.)* "Look, I don't know what you're saying. Do you speak any English? I need to know if you saw anyone suspicious—a man in a dark coat, maybe?" **Maria:** *(Shakes her head, tears brimming.)* "Lo siento, no entiendo. No hablo inglés. Estoy asustada. ¿Cree que volverá? ¿Esa cosa?" **Hunter:** *(Sighs, pulls out a notebook, points at her camera.)* "Your camera. Did you catch anything on it? Anything unusual?" **Maria:** *(Looks down at the camera, then back at him with wide eyes.)* "La cámara… sí. Tal vez. Pero no sé si debería mostrarle. Es… no es normal." **Hunter:** *(Checks his watch, growing impatient but trying to stay calm.)* "I'll get a translator if I have to. But right now, I need to know—did you see the man who vanished, or not?" **Maria:** *(Clutches the camera to her chest, voice a whisper.)* "Le vi. Y no era solo un hombre. Había algo más. Algo que se movía entre los árboles." *(Hunter’s phone buzzes. He pulls it out, reads the screen, and his expression hardens.)* **Hunter:** "I have to go. Something's come up. Don't leave town. I'll come back with someone who can translate." **Maria:** *(Rises halfway, desperate.)* "¡Espere! No se vaya. ¡Tengo miedo!" **Hunter:** *(Pauses at the door, looks back at her, then leaves without another word.)* **Maria:** *(Slumps back into her chair, murmuring.)* "No entiende. Nadie entiende." --- **End of Scene** ---
