**Voice Sheet: Café Encounter** --- **Marie:** *(softly, in French, examining her camera)* "C'est étrange... je n'ai jamais vu ça avant." *(It's strange... I've never seen this before.)* **Hunter:** *(approaching, firm but polite)* "Ma'am, I’m Detective Hunter. I need to ask you a few questions about what happened near the old mill last night." **Marie:** *(startled, responding in rapid French)* "Quoi ? Je... je ne comprends pas !" *(What? I... I don’t understand!)* **Hunter:** *(frowning, leaning in slightly)* "You were there, right? Taking pictures? I saw your camera." **Marie:** *(shaken, clutching her camera tighter, still in French)* "Oui, mais... c’était effrayant ! Il y avait des ombres, et puis... et puis plus rien !" *(Yes, but... it was terrifying! There were shadows, and then... and then nothing!)* **Hunter:** *(confused, rubbing his temple)* "Look, I don’t speak... whatever that is. Slow down. Point if you have to." **Marie:** *(frustrated, switching to broken English with a heavy accent)* "I... I saw... people. Gone. *Pouf.*" *(mimes something disappearing with her hands)* **Hunter:** *(sighs, pulling out a notepad)* "Okay, 'poof.' Like magic? Or like... taken?" **Marie:** *(nodding vigorously, then gesturing toward the mill)* "Oui, oui! *Pris.* Taken. But... no sound. No fight." *(shudders)* **Hunter:** *(jotting notes, then his phone rings. He holds up a finger to Marie)* "Hunter." *(pauses, listening)* "Yeah, I’m on my way." *(to Marie, apologetic)* "I gotta go. But don’t leave town, alright? We’ll need a translator." **Marie:** *(calling after him in French, anxious)* "Attendez ! Vous devez me croire !" *(Wait! You have to believe me!)* **Hunter:** *(already walking away, muttering)* "Yeah, yeah. *Poof.*" --- **End Scene**
