Hunter: "Excuse me, Miss. Detective Hunter, Alborn PD. I heard the college program brought a few international students into town this semester, and I couldn't help noticing that camera of yours. Were you out taking pictures near the Apple Festival grounds last night? We had another townsperson vanish after sundown, and I'm asking everyone if they saw anything unusual." Selvi: "Kya? Mujhe... mujhe samajh nahi aa raha aap kya keh rahe hain. Aap kaun hain? Par kal shaam... kal shaam maine seb ke bagiche ke paas kuch bahut ajeeb dekha tha..." Hunter: "Whoa, easy there. Take a breath, ma'am, you're shaking like a leaf. Wait a second—what language is that? Do you speak English? Uh... English?" Selvi: "Nahi, nahi, mujhe aapki bhasha bilkul nahi aati! Mera haath abhi tak kaamp raha hai. Kripya meri baat samajhne ki koshish kijiye! Yeh dekhiye... ismein dekhiye." Hunter: "Okay, zero English, got it. And I sure don't know a single word of whatever you're speaking. Sit tight, you don't need to look so rattled—you're safe here in the cafe. Mind if I pull up this chair? You keep tapping that screen... Alright, show me what you've got." Selvi: "Haan, yahan dekhiye! Main bas dhalte suraj aur khule maidan ki tasveerein le rahi thi. Sab kuch kitna shant tha, par achanak wahan chhaon mein kuch halchal hui." Hunter: "Pretty landscape shots. You've got a sharp eye for the orchards. Let's see the next one... Hold on. Stop right there. Can you zoom in on the edge of the treeline by the old cider mill? Right there—is that red flannel?" Selvi: "Wahan! Dekha aapne? Koi aadmi tha, woh baar-baar peeche mud kar dekh raha tha jaise kisi se chhup raha ho! Phir woh achanak andhere mein gayab ho gaya. Jab se maine yeh dekha hai, mera mann bahut ghabra raha hai." Hunter: "That's Arthur's jacket, no doubt about it, and nobody's seen him since eight o'clock last night. Look, Miss, I have no clue what you're telling me, though I can hear how spooked you are. Let's try hand signals—see my fingers walking? Which way did that person go? Toward the main road, or into the trees?" Selvi: "Aap haath se kya ishara kar rahe hain? Rasta pooch rahe hain? Nahi, sadak ki taraf bilkul nahi! Woh udhar bhaaga tha—ghane pedon ke peeche, jahan sabse zyada andhera tha!" Hunter: "Pointing north, straight toward the creek bed. Good. That gives my search team a real bearing instead of knocking on doors for all three thousand people in Alborn. Listen to me carefully: keep this safe, okay? Do not erase—hang on. Sorry, my phone's buzzing. I need to take this." Selvi: "Arre, kya hua? Aap ruk kyun gaye? Abhi ismein ek aur tasveer baaki hai, kam se kam woh toh dekh lijiye!" Hunter: "Hunter here. Go ahead. ... Yeah, I'm at the Main Street cafe following up on a lead. ... You found a boot print by the north creek? Nobody goes near it. Secure the perimeter and keep the festival volunteers back. I'm five minutes out." Selvi: "Aap uth kyun gaye? Aap jaa rahe hain kya? Rukiye, main in tasveeron ka kya karoon, mujhe kuch toh samjhaiye!" Hunter: "Duty calls, Miss, I have to roll. Stay put, finish your tea, and guard that memory card—I'm leaving my business card right here next to your mug, alright? Sit tight and I'll send an officer back with someone from the college who can translate." Selvi: "Suniye toh! Yeh chhota sa kagaz mez par rakh kar kahan chale gaye... Bhagwan jaane is chhote se shehar mein kya ho raha hai."
