**VOICE SHEET: "The Frame at Hollis Orchard"** *Setting: Corner table, Brewed Awakening Café, Alborn, MN. Late afternoon.* Maria: "Lo siento, no entiendo. Esas fotos... no debí tomarlas." *[I'm sorry, I don't understand. Those photos... I shouldn't have taken them.]* Hunter: "Ma'am, I'm Detective Hunter. I'm asking about the disappearance at Hollis Orchard last night. You were there with your camera, right?" Maria: "Eran las ocho, quizás las ocho y media. El sol ya se estaba escondiendo. Vi a alguien entre los árboles." *[It was eight, maybe eight-thirty. The sun was already setting. I saw someone between the trees.]* Hunter: "Okay. Slow down. Did you see who it was?" Maria: "No lo sé. Llevaba un abrigo rojo. Y estaba mirando hacia la carretera, como si esperara a alguien." *[I don't know. He was wearing a red coat. And he was looking toward the road, as if he were waiting for someone.]* Hunter: "Red coat. Okay. Red coat. That's something." *(He pulls out a notebook and writes.)* "Can you show me the pictures?" Maria: "Las fotos... no sé si salió bien. Está oscuro en la mayoría. Pero aquí, mira." *(She turns the camera screen toward him.)* *[The photos... I don't know if they came out. Most of them are dark. But here, look.]* Hunter: "I can't see anything but a blur. Hang on." *(He squints at the screen, then looks up at her.)* "Is that a person?" Maria: "Sí. Creo que sí. Y no era el único. Había otra persona cerca del granero." *(Her voice cracks.)* "Dios mío, ¿y si le pasó algo?" *[Yes. I think so. And he wasn't the only one. There was another person near the barn. My God, what if something happened to him?]* Hunter: "Hey, hey. Take a breath. Nobody's in trouble here. I just need you to..." *(He pauses, rubbing his temple.)* "Look, I know you're upset, and I'm trying my best to understand, but I need to know more." Maria: "Ya te lo dije todo. Ya no sé qué más decir." *(She covers her face with her hands.)* *[I already told you everything. I don't know what else to say.]* Hunter: "Okay. Okay. Can you write it down for me? Names, descriptions, anything? Even a drawing?" Maria: "No puedo escribir en inglés. Mi inglés no es... *(She shakes her head.)* Es nada." *[I can't write in English. My English is... it's nothing.]* Hunter: "Yeah. Yeah, I got that part." *(He lets out a short breath, almost a laugh, then sobers.)* "Look, can you come to the station tomorrow? We'll get an interpreter." Maria: "Sí. Mañana. Sí." *(She nods, slowly picking up her camera and holding it close to her chest.)* "Gracias por... escuchar, creo." *[Yes. Tomorrow. Yes. Thank you for... listening, I think.]* *(Hunter's phone buzzes. He glances at the screen, his expression tightening.)* Hunter: "Detective Hunter. Yeah. Where? ...Got it. I'm on my way." *(He stands abruptly and pulls a card from his jacket, sliding it across the table.)* "Call this number. Ask for Deputy Ruiz. She speaks Spanish. She'll help you with the statement. I'm sorry, I have to go." Maria: "Espera... ¿Va a encontrarlo? ¿Al hombre del abrigo rojo?" *[Wait... Are you going to find him? The man in the red coat?]* Hunter: *(Already moving toward the door, he pauses and looks back, shaking his head.)* "Sorry. Don't know what you said. But I'll find him." *(The door chimes shut behind him. Maria stares at the photo on her camera screen, the faint red coat visible in the shadows.)* **END OF SCENE**
