**Selvi:** "माफ़ कीजिए... क्या आप... उस रात के बारे में कुछ जानते हैं? मैंने वह तस्वीर देखी है।" *[Excuse me... do you... know anything about that night? I've seen that picture.]* **Hunter:** "Ma'am, I'm Detective Hunter with the Alborn PD. I'm looking into the disappearance on Orchard Road last Thursday. Did you see anything that night?" **Selvi:** "मुझे... समझ नहीं आ रहा... मैंने यह तस्वीर सुबह पाँच बजे ली थी... और वह... वह वहाँ खड़ा था।" *[I... I don't understand... I took this photo at five in the morning... and he... he was standing there.]* **Hunter:** "Sorry, I didn't catch any of that. What language is that?" *(pauses)* "Do you speak English?" **Selvi:** "नहीं... नहीं..." *(shakes her head, eyes filling with tears)* *[No... no...]* **Hunter:** "Okay. Okay. Take it easy." *(sits down across from her)* "Can you show me the picture? Just point, that's fine." **Selvi:** "यह... यहाँ देखिए। यह आदमी। उसके हाथ में लाल लालटेन थी।" *[This... look here. This man. He had a red lantern in his hand.]* **Hunter:** "A man, by the orchard gate. Red lantern. Okay." *(leans closer to the screen)* "Hold on, I've got a translation app." *(typing)* **Hunter:** "Alright, it's slow, but it's working. Say that again, a little at a time." **Selvi:** "वह मेरी तरफ़ नहीं देख रहा था। वह... किसी को ढूँढ रहा था। और फिर... फिर मैंने पेड़ों के बीच एक और रोशनी देखी।" *[He wasn't looking at me. He was... searching for someone. And then... then I saw another light between the trees.]* **Hunter:** *(reading from the phone, frowning)* "He wasn't looking at you... searching... another light... between the trees." *(looks up)* "Did you get a look at the second light? Anyone with it?" **Selvi:** "नहीं... मैं बस इतना... मुझे बहुत डर लगा। मैंने कैमरा नीचे कर लिया।" *[No... that's all I... I was so scared. I lowered my camera.]* **Hunter:** *(typing again, slower)* "Scared. Camera down." *(nods)* "That's fair. You did the right thing, staying out of sight." **Selvi:** "क्या वह लोग... अब भी वहाँ हैं?" *[Are those people... still out there?]* **Hunter:** "I don't know yet, which is exactly what I'm trying to figure out." *(his phone buzzes. He glances at the screen and stands up quickly.)* "I have to take this. Stay here, okay? Don't go back to the orchard alone." *(Phone pressed to his ear)* **Hunter:** "Hunter. Yeah. Where? ...Okay, I'm ten minutes out." *(He turns back to the table, pulls a business card from his jacket, and sets it beside her camera.)* **Hunter:** "That's my direct line. If you remember anything else, call me. Even if it seems small. Can you do that?" **Selvi:** "हाँ... शुक्रिया।" *[Yes... thank you.]* **Hunter:** "Yeah. Thanks." *(He hesitates, then taps the card.)* "Call me. I'll find someone who speaks Hindi to help us out." *(He hurries toward the door. The bell above it jingles as it closes behind him.)*
