Maria sits at a café table, scrolling through photos on her camera. Hunter approaches. **Maria:** “No puedo creer que haya captado esto…” *(I can’t believe I captured this…)* **Hunter:** “Ma’am? Detective Hunter, Alborn PD. I’m investigating the disappearance from the apple festival. I understand you were there Saturday night.” **Maria:** “¿El festival? Sí, estaba tomando fotos cerca del huerto. No debí ir…” *(The festival? Yes, I was taking photos near the orchard. I shouldn’t have gone…)* **Hunter:** “I’m going to take that as a yes. Do you speak English?” **Maria:** “No hablo inglés. Lo siento. Vi algo… algo se llevó a una persona.” *(I don’t speak English. I’m sorry. I saw something… something took a person.)* **Hunter:** “Okay. I don’t know what you’re saying, but you look shaken. Can I see the camera? The photos?” **Maria:** “Mire. Mire la última foto. Hay una sombra detrás del señor Whitlock. No era un animal.” *(Look. Look at the last photo. There’s a shadow behind Mr. Whitlock. It wasn’t an animal.)* **Hunter:** “Whitlock—that’s the missing man. You got him on camera? What’s that behind him?” **Maria:** “No lo sé. La niebla llegó muy rápido. Grité, pero nadie me escuchó.” *(I don’t know. The fog came very fast. I screamed, but nobody heard me.)* **Hunter:** “I don’t understand the words, but I can see you’re scared. I need a translator. Do you have anyone who can help?” **Maria:** “No, no tengo a nadie. La policía local no me creyó. Dijeron que fue un coyote.” *(No, I don’t have anyone. The local police didn’t believe me. They said it was a coyote.)* **Hunter:** “Coyote? They’re treating a disappearance like an animal attack? No. Something’s off.” **Maria:** “No fue un coyote. Yo vi la sombra moverse. No era humana.” *(It wasn’t a coyote. I saw the shadow move. It wasn’t human.)* **Hunter:** “You keep looking at that camera like it’s evidence. Don’t delete anything. I want my team to see those photos.” **Maria:** “No voy a borrar nada. Pero no me deje sola. La niebla volvió anoche.” *(I won’t delete anything. But don’t leave me alone. The fog came back last night.)* **Hunter:** “Last night? If something happened again, I need to know. Stay here—I’ll call for a translator.” **Maria:** “¡Por favor, detective, no se vaya!” *(Please, detective, don’t go!)* **Hunter:** “I’ll be right back.” *(his phone buzzes)* “Hunter. I have to take this. Stay here, do not leave.” **Maria:** “¡No me deje sola!” *(Don’t leave me alone!)* **Hunter:** *(into phone)* “Hunter. Tell me you found something.” *(to Maria)* “I’ll be back.”
