The crisp autumn air of Alborn, Minnesota, drifted through the open door of the corner cafe, carrying the scent of cinnamon and ripening McIntosh apples from the town’s famous festival. At a small wooden table near the window sat Selvi, thirty years old and miles away from home. Her fingers gently traced the rubber grip of her digital camera, her eyes locked on the tiny LCD screen. She shivered slightly, her heart still hammering against her ribs. Heavy footsteps approached the table. Detective Hunter, broad-shouldered and wearing his usual stern expression, stopped beside her chair. He flipped open a small leather notebook, his no-nonsense Marine demeanor radiating off him as he looked down at the young college student. Here is the dialogue between Selvi and Hunter: Hunter: "Excuse me, miss. Detective Hunter, Alborn Police Department. I’m looking into the recent disappearances around town. I was told you were out by the north orchard around dusk yesterday. Did you see anything unusual?" Selvi: "अरे भगवान, यह भयानक था! मैंने कैमरे के लेंस से देखा... उसने उसे खींच लिया! कोई साया था, वह उसे जंगल में ले गया!" Hunter: "Right. Okay. Miss, I'm going to need you to slow down and speak English if you can. Did you see a vehicle? A stranger?" Selvi: "नहीं, गाड़ी नहीं... बस... एक भयानक साया! मेरे हाथ अभी भी काँप रहे हैं। कोई सुरक्षित नहीं है यहाँ।" Hunter: "Listen, I don't know what you're saying, but gesturing toward the woods isn't giving me a description. Was it a man? A local?" Selvi: "आप मेरी बात क्यों नहीं समझ रहे हैं? वह आदमी गायब हो गया! मैंने सब कुछ कैमरे में कैद कर लिया... मुझे लगता है कि मैं खुद खतरे में हूँ।" Hunter: "Look at the camera screen all you want, it's not helping me fill out this report." *(Hunter's radio suddenly crackles to life on his hip. Static bursts through, followed by a dispatch voice relaying a new lead on the edge of town.)* Hunter: "Hunter. Yeah, I copy. I'm on my way." *(Hunter snaps his notebook shut with a sharp sigh, looking down at Selvi one last time.)* Hunter: "Stay put, miss. And try to... well, just stay out of the woods."
