**Voice Sheet: Cafe Scene, "The Alborn Disappearances"** *Maria speaks only Spanish. Her lines are followed by an English translation in brackets for the cast. Hunter speaks only English and understands none of Maria's lines.* --- Hunter: "Excuse me, ma'am. Are you the one who was out at Lindqvist Orchard on Tuesday night? The owner said a young woman was taking pictures near the old barn." Maria: "Lo siento, no entiendo. ¿Usted es policía? Vi las fotos... las fotos no están bien. Algo está mal en ellas." *[I'm sorry, I don't understand. Are you a policeman? I saw the photos... the photos aren't right. Something is wrong with them.]* Hunter: "I'm Detective Hunter, Alborn PD. I need to ask you about what you saw. Did you see anyone near the barn?" Maria: "Por favor, siéntese. Tengo que enseñarle. Mire, aquí. Esta foto es de las seis de la mañana. Hay una furgoneta blanca y alguien está de pie junto a ella. Pero cuando miro otra vez, ya no está." *[Please, sit down. I have to show you. Look, here. This photo is from six in the morning. There's a white van and someone is standing beside it. But when I look again, they're gone.]* Hunter: "Okay, I'm going to need you to slow down. I don't speak... are you saying you saw a van?" Maria: "Sí, una furgoneta. Y había una mujer. Estaba llorando. Yo quería ayudarla, pero el hombre me vio y me gritó. Tuve miedo. Corrí hasta el coche." *[Yes, a van. And there was a woman. She was crying. I wanted to help her, but the man saw me and shouted at me. I was scared. I ran to the car.]* Hunter: "Hold on. You're telling me you saw a man and a woman? Did he have a weapon? Did he touch her?" Maria: "No sé. No sé qué pasó después. Por la mañana leí en el periódico que Eleanor Webb desapareció. Ella es la mujer de la foto. ¿Por qué nadie me cree? Tengo las fotos y nadie me escucha." *[I don't know. I don't know what happened after. In the morning I read in the newspaper that Eleanor Webb disappeared. She's the woman in the photo. Why doesn't anyone believe me? I have the pictures and nobody listens to me.]* Hunter: "Ma'am, I can't read your language, but I can read your face. You're scared, and I'm taking that seriously. Can you send me those photos? Every one of them, with the timestamps." Maria: "Las fotos son mi trabajo. Mire cómo está la luz en esta. Hace un mes que vine a Alborn para fotografiar los paisajes del otoño. Nunca pensé que vería algo así." *[The photos are my work. Look at the light in this one. I came to Alborn a month ago to photograph the autumn landscapes. I never thought I would see something like this.]* Hunter: "I'll take that as a yes. Do you have a phone number where I can reach you?" Maria: "Sí, pero no tengo mucho saldo. Escriba este número. Y por favor, no le diga a nadie que hablé con usted. Tengo miedo de que el hombre de la furgoneta sepa dónde vivo." *[Yes, but I don't have much credit. Write down this number. And please, don't tell anyone that I talked to you. I'm afraid the man in the van will find out where I live.]* Hunter: "Got it. Nobody hears about this from me. Give me a second to write this down." *(Phone rings.)* Hunter: "Hunter. ...Say that again. When? ...Got it. I'm on my way. Look, I have to go, something's come up at the river road. Stay somewhere public tonight, and keep those photos safe." Maria: "¿Qué pasa? ¿Otra persona? Por favor, tenga cuidado. Y gracias por escucharme, aunque no me entienda." *[What's happening? Another person? Please be careful. And thank you for listening to me, even though you don't understand me.]* Hunter: "I'll be careful. Thank you for coming forward, Maria. Keep that camera close." *(Hunter exits. Maria looks down at her camera and lifts it to the window.)* Maria: "Ojalá me hubiera ido de Alborn antes de tomar esa foto." *[I wish I had left Alborn before taking that photo.]*
