Selvi: "..." *(looking down at her camera, its display filled with photographs of the apple festival)* Hunter: "Selvi?" Selvi: "..." *(she looked up, uncertain)* Hunter: "Detective Hunter. I’m investigating what happened by the old orchard last night. You were there with your camera, weren’t you?" Selvi: "..." *(her fingers tightened around the camera strap)* Hunter: "You saw something." Selvi: "..." *(in Hindi, troubled and shaken)* Hunter: "I’m sorry. I don’t understand. English?" Selvi: "..." *(she shook her head, then pointed at the camera and tapped the screen)* Hunter: "The camera. All right. Can you show me?" Selvi: "..." *(she scrolled through the pictures, pausing at one and pointing to a shadow near the orchard gate)* Hunter: "That’s the gate. What’s that beside it?" Selvi: "..." *(in Hindi, speaking quickly; she pointed from the shadow to the road, then made a small, urgent gesture with her hand)* Hunter: "I can’t tell what you’re saying. Slow down." *(He pulled a chair closer but kept his voice even.)* "You’re safe here. Take your time." Selvi: "..." *(she took a breath and showed him another photograph: a figure beside a car, face lost in the dark)* Hunter: "You saw someone take a person?" Selvi: "..." *(she nodded, eyes bright with fear)* Hunter: "Did you recognize them?" Selvi: "..." *(she shook her head, then pointed to the car’s license plate, blurred in the image)* Hunter: "Not clear enough to read." *(He studied the screen.)* "But this helps. When did you take it?" Selvi: "..." *(she held up two fingers, then pointed toward the church clock visible in the background)* Hunter: "Around two o’clock. You took these last night?" Selvi: "..." *(she nodded)* Hunter: "Did you tell anyone?" Selvi: "..." *(she glanced toward the cafe window, then lowered her voice in Hindi)* Hunter: "I’m sorry. I still can’t understand you." *(His phone began to ring.)* Selvi: "..." *(she startled at the sound and clutched her camera)* Hunter: "I have to take this." *(He answered, listened, and his expression hardened.)* "Where? I’m on my way." Selvi: "..." *(she watched him, anxious)* Hunter: "I have to go. Don’t leave town, and don’t show those pictures to anyone else. I’ll find someone who can translate." Selvi: "..." *(she nodded, then pointed to the camera and raised one finger, asking him to wait)* Hunter: "I’ll be back. Keep the camera with you." Selvi: "..." *(she watched him hurry out of the cafe, then looked down at the photograph again)*
