Marie: "..." *(flips through photos on her camera, her hand trembling slightly)* Hunter: "Excuse me, miss. Mind if I ask you a few questions? I’m Detective Hunter." Marie: "..." *(looks up, startled, clutching the camera to her chest)* "Pardon ? Qu'est-ce que vous dites ?" Hunter: "Uh, right. Look, I’m investigating what happened near the old orchard last night. Did you happen to see anything unusual while you were out with that camera?" Marie: "..." *(shakes her head rapidly, her eyes wide with fear)* "Je... je ne comprends pas. Je faisais juste des photos du paysage, et puis... mon Dieu, c'était terrible. La lumière, et ensuite cet homme... il a juste disparu !" Hunter: "..." *(scratches the back of his neck, frowning)* "Whoa, slow down. I don't speak... whatever that is. French? Look, did you see a guy? Tall, wearing a heavy coat?" Marie: "..." *(gestures wildly with her hands, trying to imitate a tall figure, her voice shaking)* "Oui ! Un homme grand ! Mais il y avait une ombre... une ombre étrange derrière lui. J'ai eu si peur que j'ai couru jusqu'ici. Je n'arrive plus à respirer..." Hunter: "..." *(sighs, leaning in a bit closer)* "Okay, so 'oui' means yes, right? You saw him? Did you get a picture of him on that fancy camera of yours?" Marie: "..." *(looks down at the camera screen, pointing a shaky finger at a blurry image)* "Regardez... là. Vous voyez ça ? Ce n'est pas normal. Dites-moi que ce n'est pas ce que je pense..." Hunter: "..." *(squints at the tiny digital screen)* "Is that... a shoe? A silhouette? Damn it, I can't tell what I'm looking at here, ma'am. I need you to speak English. Just give me a name, or a direction." Marie: "..." *(tears well up in her eyes, throwing her hands in the air)* "Mais je ne peux pas vous le dire en anglais ! Je ne parle pas votre langue ! Pourquoi personne ne m'aide ?" Hunter: "..." *(holds up his hands in a calming gesture)* "Alright, alright, take a breath. Easy. Just stay right here, okay? I can try to find someone in this town who translates..." *(Hunter's phone rings loudly in his coat pocket. He pulls it out, checks the caller ID, and grunts.)* Hunter: "..." *(into phone)* "Hunter. ...What? They found another abandoned car down on County Road 2? I'm on my way." *(hangs up and looks back at Marie)* Hunter: "..." "Look, miss, I gotta go. Crime scene just popped up. Don't leave town, alright? Just... stay at the cafe. *S'il vous plaît?* Is that French? Whatever. Don't move." Marie: "..." *(stares at him, completely lost, watching him hurry out the door)* "Attendez ! Ne me laissez pas seule !"
