Hunter: “Maria? Maria Alvarez?” Maria: “Sí… sí, soy yo.” Hunter: “Detective Hunter. Alborn Police Department. Mind if I sit?” Maria: “No, por favor.” Hunter: “Thanks. I’m sorry to bother you, but I need to ask you about last night. The overlook by Pine Lake.” Maria: “El mirador…” Hunter: “You were there around eight-thirty?” Maria: “Estaba tomando fotografías. El cielo era muy bonito, con las nubes rojas… y el lago parecía un espejo.” Hunter: “Did you see anyone else?” Maria: “Sí.” Hunter: “Who?” Maria: “No sé. Un hombre, creo. Estaba cerca de los árboles.” Hunter: “Can you describe him?” Maria: “Era alto. Llevaba una chaqueta oscura y una gorra. No vi su cara.” Hunter: “Was he alone?” Maria: “Al principio, sí. Luego escuché una voz.” Hunter: “A voice?” Maria: “Una mujer. O tal vez una chica. Estaba hablando… muy rápido. Parecía asustada.” Hunter: “Did you hear what she said?” Maria: “No entiendo inglés.” Hunter: “Right. Of course. Did it sound like an argument?” Maria: “No sé.” Hunter: “Did the man touch her? Did you see him take her somewhere?” Maria: “Yo… vi una sombra. Él levantó el brazo, y después escuché algo caer.” Hunter: “What fell?” Maria: “No lo sé. Mi cámara estaba enfocando el lago.” Hunter: “Then what happened?” Maria: “Escuché un coche. Muy rápido. Cuando miré otra vez, no había nadie.” Hunter: “What kind of car?” Maria: “Oscuro. Grande. Quizá una camioneta.” Hunter: “Did you get a plate number?” Maria: “No. Lo siento.” Hunter: “Don’t apologize. You did the right thing coming forward.” Maria: “No vine a hablar. La señora del café llamó a la policía porque… porque yo estaba llorando.” Hunter: “You’re shaken up. That’s understandable.” Maria: “Esa mujer… ¿está bien?” Hunter: “We’re still looking into it.” Maria: “No, no. Usted no entiende.” Hunter: “I’m afraid I don’t understand Spanish.” Maria: “La mujer gritó. No era una discusión. Era un grito de miedo.” Hunter: “A scream?” Maria: “Sí. Y después… silencio.” Hunter: “Did you take any photographs after you heard it?” Maria: “Tomé muchas. No sabía que había visto algo. Estaba fotografiando el agua, los árboles, el cielo.” Hunter: “Can I see them?” Maria: “Sí.” Hunter: “This one—what time was it taken?” Maria: “Ocho y treinta y siete.” Hunter: “And this?” Maria: “Ocho y cuarenta.” Hunter: “Wait. Go back one.” Maria: “¿Esta?” Hunter: “Yes. There’s something near the tree line. Can you zoom in?” Maria: “Mi cámara tiene buena lente.” Hunter: “That’s helpful.” Maria: “Aquí. Hay una persona.” Hunter: “And that white shape beside him…” Maria: “Parece una bufanda. O una chaqueta.” Hunter: “Could be. Can you send these photos to the department?” Maria: “No sé cómo.” Hunter: “I’ll have someone help you. Or you can bring the camera by the station.” Maria: “No quiero dejar mi cámara.” Hunter: “You won’t have to. We can make copies.” Maria: “Está bien.” Hunter: “Maria, I need you to stay in town for a few days.” Maria: “¿Por qué?” Hunter: “Because you may have seen something important.” Maria: “No quiero volver al lago.” Hunter: “You don’t have to. Just stay somewhere public, keep your door locked, and call the police if you notice anyone watching you.” Maria: “¿Alguien me está buscando?” Hunter: “I don’t know.” Maria: “Eso no me tranquiliza.” Hunter: “It wasn’t meant to. It was meant to keep you safe.” Maria: “Usted habla muy serio.” Hunter: “Occupational hazard.” Maria: “No entiendo esa expresión.” Hunter: “It means my job has made me serious.” Maria: “Ah.” Hunter: “Do you have someone here? A host family? Friends from the program?” Maria: “Tengo una compañera. Ella está en Duluth hoy.” Hunter: “Then don’t be alone tonight.” Maria: “Está bien.” Hunter: “And Maria?” Maria: “¿Sí?” Hunter: “You did good.” Maria: “Gracias.” Hunter: “Detective Hunter.” Maria: “¿Sí?” Hunter: “I’ve got to take this.” Maria: “Por favor.” Hunter: “Hunter.” Hunter: “No, don’t move the scene until I get there.” Hunter: “I said I’m on my way.” Hunter: “Maria, I have to go.” Maria: “¿Ha pasado algo?” Hunter: “Stay here for now. I’ll send Officer Bell to collect those photographs.” Maria: “Detective—” Hunter: “Lock your door tonight.” Maria: “¡Detective Hunter!” Hunter: “And Maria?” Maria: “¿Qué?” Hunter: “Don’t go back to Pine Lake.” Maria: “No pensaba hacerlo.” Hunter: “Good.”
