Melanie: "..." Hunter: "Excuse me, miss? I'm Detective Hunter. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?" Melanie: "Was? Tut mir leid, ich spreche kein Englisch. Ich bin aus Deutschland." (What? I'm sorry, I don't speak English. I'm from Germany.) Hunter: "I'm sorry, I don't understand. I'm investigating a disappearance near the apple orchard. Did you see anything unusual there yesterday?" Melanie: "Der Apfelgarten? Ja, ich war dort. Ich habe Fotos gemacht. Aber dann..." (The apple orchard? Yes, I was there. I took photos. But then...) Hunter: "I'm going to take that as a yes. Did you see something? A person? Someone who looked lost?" Melanie: "Ich weiß nicht. Es war spät. Ich habe eine Gestalt gesehen. Im Nebel." (I don't know. It was late. I saw a figure. In the fog.) Hunter: "A figure? Near the woods? Was it a man? A woman? Did they look hurt?" Melanie: "Nicht verletzt, nein. Aber... sie war einfach weg. Als ich das nächste Mal hinschaute, war sie verschwunden." (Not hurt, no. But... she was just gone. When I looked again, she was gone.) Hunter: "Gone? Like disappeared? That's what I'm investigating. Can you show me what you photographed?" Melanie: "Ja, hier." (Yes, here.) (She holds up her camera, pointing to the screen, but Hunter looks confused.) Hunter: "I don't... I can't see it clearly. Can you describe it to me?" Melanie: "Es ist verschwommen. Ich war zu weit weg. Aber ich sah etwas Rotes. Vielleicht einen Schal?" (It's blurry. I was too far away. But I saw something red. Maybe a scarf?) Hunter: "A red scarf? That matches one of the missing persons. Jane Doe, a tourist. She was wearing a red scarf." Melanie: "Ja! Das muss sie sein. Ich habe versucht, näher zu gehen, aber ich hatte Angst. Es war so still." (Yes! That must be her. I tried to get closer, but I was scared. It was so quiet.) (Hunter's phone rings.) Hunter: "Hold on." (Answers phone.) "Hunter here... What? Another one? At the festival grounds? I'm on my way." (Hangs up.) Melanie: "Was ist passiert?" (What happened?) Hunter: "I have to go. There's been another incident. Please stay here. I'll send someone who speaks German to take your statement. Don't go anywhere." Melanie: "Ich werde warten. Aber bitte, seien Sie vorsichtig." (I'll wait. But please, be careful.) Hunter: "I will. Thank you for your help." (He leaves quickly, Melanie watches him go, clutching her camera.)
