Isabella: [Looking up from her camera, startled] "Mi scusi? Non capisco. Perché mi chiede della notte del festival?" Hunter: "I’m Detective Hunter. I’m asking about the man who disappeared after the apple festival. Did you see anything?" Isabella: [Her fingers tighten around the camera] "La luce nel frutteto… e quell’uomo vicino al capanno. Non voglio pensarci." Hunter: [Confused] "I’m sorry. I don’t understand a word of that. I don’t speak Italian." Isabella: [She studies his face, then points at his phone] "Non parla italiano?" Hunter: [Opening a translation app] "No. But maybe this will help. Can you speak into it?" Isabella: [She nods and speaks into the phone. The app translates: “I was taking pictures near the old orchard that night. I saw a light by the cider shed.”] "Stavo fotografando il vecchio frutteto quella sera. Ho visto una luce vicino al capanno del sidro." Hunter: [Reading the translation] "What time was this?" Isabella: [After listening to the app] "Poco prima delle nove. Ho sentito le sirene dopo. Pensavo fosse un incidente." Hunter: [The app translates her words. He types a reply] "Did you see the missing man?" Isabella: [She hesitates, then speaks quietly. The app translates: “I saw someone by the shed. I couldn’t see his face. I thought it was the missing man, but I’m not sure.”] "Ho visto qualcuno vicino al capanno. Non riuscivo a vedere il viso. Pensavo fosse l’uomo scomparso, ma non ne sono sicura." Hunter: [Leaning forward] "You took photographs there?" Isabella: [She turns the camera around and scrolls through the images] "Sì. Guardi questa. In questa foto non c’è nessuno. In quella successiva, invece, c’è un’ombra dietro il capanno." Hunter: [Studying the image] "That’s not much of a shadow. It looks like someone standing behind the fence." Isabella: [The app translates. She gives a troubled nod] "È quello che mi spaventa. Quando ho scattato la foto, non c’era nessuno." Hunter: [His phone rings. He answers] "Hunter. …What? When did they find it? …All right. I’m on my way." Isabella: [Watching his expression] "È successo qualcosa?" Hunter: [Typing into the translator] "I have to go. Another person is missing." Isabella: [Her face pales. The app translates her reply: “Another one?”] "Un’altra persona?" Hunter: [Rising] "Keep the original photos. Don’t delete or edit anything. I’ll come back for a copy." Isabella: [She nods and holds the camera close] "Non cancellerò nulla. Glielo prometto." Hunter: "Thank you, Isabella. I’ll be in touch."
