據偉兹所知304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauMp2MiGv3
雷爾夫先生是位退役軍人，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jAD1Wyw4z
同時也是年紀相近朋友———304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMfHcVaT0o
帕特里克·普斯特的父親。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne44oO4qDb
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu187USkXV2
偉兹與雷爾夫先生首次見面就是始於鄰近鎮上的阿登步道。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN9beujzGv
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoXiuo0P2w
阿登步道就是條人手鋪設的花崗石路，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBddvrMkW4S
週邊是綠意盎然的森林。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3GnsFn6g0
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAuIzvL2Yv
白天時基本上就只有松鼠，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIjqbimI6f
白兔等毫無威脅性的野生動物。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4urUF0zcXR
是個因環境優美及空氣清新而受鎮民歡迎的消遣休憩之地。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg81GwdjJJ
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwbTCcbKmD
但近期傳有野豬在步道附近出沒的傳言，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd9o2OQspm
鮑伯農場亦受到野豬滋擾。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FqsUpGosl
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2RvIzWGQ4
帕特里克和偉兹在森林中嬉戲時也受到襲擊，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dyTjntCFe
幸好雷爾夫先生及時來到驅逐了野豬。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkx5O4qPbF
兩人才沒受到傷害。
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48APQjeFbv
這次之後，
偉兹便立志要成為像雷爾夫這樣的男子漢。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16PT8oIsdE
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmRa8rnLzK
而今天早上，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfinSEmcAs5
偉兹踏單車路經普斯特家家前巧遇剛回到家的雷爾夫先生。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWXPa2ApBY
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaKnZZfHdM
偉兹從車頭的布袋內抽出一紮報紙，
抛向雷爾夫。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5V6kIJQDR
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oIwKc79zw
“早安，雷爾夫先生！帕特里克的腳沒有大礙吧？” 304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmt8l6nMqp
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8Jlx1bgXc
“原來是偉兹呀，請別嚇我。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWIjv535Gy
帕特里克應該再休息一天就可以和你去玩了，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItqNHijiUZ
但請不要再去阿登步道了哦。″ 304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ5M0dHPh5
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PlUiJywnM
雷爾夫的反應似乎不如平時般從容，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJGvIQLfPR
反而像為躲避著什麼而鬼鬼祟祟似的。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqLDyPRMvt
若不是偉兹認識雷爾夫，他定必會被當成小偷。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OrVpEfJJa
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39QxFriYTP
“我知道了！”304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpex1MGqXCz
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj3B3L9BTX
雷爾夫接下報紙後，背後的家門緩緩張開，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QQTnUr3gO
門內散發著一陣比他在戰時從敵軍身上感受過都強的敵意，被他狩獵過的動物和惡魔都兇猛的攻擊性。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3PVHYfca1
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPnV46WxFh
雷爾夫沒有馬上轉身，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6C9SGyZ9v
在戰鬥開始前至少要讓無辜的偉兹離開。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIz9dVzMgA
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA12pMWbiy
“早安！普斯特夫人！”304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznscfhrRBb
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu6TnrY8IC
“早安呀偉兹，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW70P6S1VR
記得要成為一個有責任感和時間觀念的男子漢哦！你說對不對？ 親 愛 的。”304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4khXWg44K
普斯特夫人回應時雖然臉帶微笑，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk6XIfH6Sm
但也讓偉茲感受到微弱的壓迫感。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa041DgkpY
而且這話可能根本不是說給自己聽的。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pLj9qaD5J
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuy75rcXQd
“說得也對呢，我差不多要上學了，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HHcBixz1h
得趕去最後一戶，再見兩位.....”
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdokJ3UNLln
偉兹語氣沒有了剛才的熱情。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfdI2IifxZ
普斯特夫婦也笑著揮手回應，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZesev2ygEU
雷爾夫臉上的笑容像是帶著一點哀愁。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANPo2Yp63s
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJe1X2lFx8
“親愛的，你不會是剛剛才回到家吧？”304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPioExgfRU0
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25y7JS4Pgl
″當....當....當然不是呀，艾露娜......″304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM615mA96Wz
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfK9PU2EFF
偉兹沒有再聽下去，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBGMsuD218
只是在疑惑著雷爾夫先生是不是和安東尼一樣有口吃。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y1bjyJ64Y
很多年後已成人父的他才能稍稍理解雷爾夫的感受。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnjiMkUtQE
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDiJjzXMW1
最後一站，威克森家就在普斯特家對邊。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeawOOnFEk3
偉兹一直對擔任過警察的衛威恩非常感興趣，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNwGaARDj0
衛威恩年幼時曾和家人一度遷出大城市，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPEi3ei9Ug
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4ARKXDHjA
於半年前某件有關鮑伯農場的案件後。 304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg27hNWzR9j
心灰意冷的衛威恩交出警章和配槍，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNa62fZNSK
獨自回到諾谷湖鎮居住。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf7EUN2Moi
但奇怪的是偉兹從沒見過衛威恩本人。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFBmorHasl
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qc9I4xIRL
比起流傳著奇怪傳言的雷爾夫，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0EF6U21Q7
衛威恩在鎮上的風評確實不俗，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNkB8jGS6V
市集的商店老闆都欣賞他爽快和正直。
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmOHUcUDaz
留在和睦的鎮上是種浪費，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCqSCHWOTO
他應該回到大城市繼續撲滅罪惡，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsJRYD6e9N
成為守護市民的警察才對。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91by4WKFm7
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnx6nEVLPM
偉兹來到威克森家前，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgivUvcbtiB
而門前有一位偉兹非常熟識的訪客在和衛威恩交談。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVllkysgl5
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqCzee3qoP
這是最後一站，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhMzTwLRgF
偉兹把單車停泊在道路旁，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z5hA6lmWN
他不用拋的派送方式，下車親手遞給衛威恩。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFpPCFzjsU
藉此一窺洛城警署三級警探的風采。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYyEBNVD7N
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeqKwUuej6
“先重組整合一下，
你是在說昨晚駕駛貨車時遇到一列樹木像骨牌般倒向車道，你以過人的技術全部迴避開。
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJf2cCIISC
貨車進退兩難時，我就出現了？”304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DZMXJ9jkD
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yVw6rDsyu
″對.....對....你.....還說什...什麼雨水關係,還徒..徒...手搬開倒在地上的...樹幹″ 304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyqhMktkGS
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykXcsOPWtw
“安東尼，我和無數擅於說謊的罪犯交手過。
他們的証詞永遠讓人非常可信，
但我永遠能找出隱藏在細節內的漏洞。”304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0QDH96koR
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Mao79PG5
“但我...沒....有犯罪....” 304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEQ43OgKbF
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqeCfcXYEo
“我當然知道了朋友，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GPlJg6P9n
但我雖然很強壯也不可能徒手搬起重至上噸的樹木吧？”304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mGDgS44Ry
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6GSTaxsD8
“好像有...道...理” 安東尼看向衛威恩的雙臂說道。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ga4k9qLqh
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNX4NPBWME
“可能你只是太累了，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCBtsjhfdY
我昨晚在家睡了一整晚，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNZjVHbZxJ
直至你的拍門聲弄醒我。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozH3t6a8PS
所以又怎可能出現在你眼前呢？”304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k80ZJFU3W
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQAgYs1Uts
“抱.....歉”304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CWEHrpnKo
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GxLUhnTYa
“沒問題的，
我累的時候也會想起雷金納德和那個膽小的警監上司。
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuzUjdqEqx
可能你真的遇上樹木倒塌意外，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSju81IaGjw
但是你疲勞和內心的恐懼又把一棵想成兩棵三棵，甚至更可怕的景象。” 304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKqU8O83K2
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR5w0jm9ei
安東尼想起昨晚倒向貨車後又突然消失的樹木，經過衛威恩的引導他開始懷疑起自己。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls6Uv93Yj7
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC67oFmwyyP
“人呀在最困難的時候總會回想起最重要的人，
昨晚那個我就只存在於你的腦海裡，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndqzt4tirO
給你重要的提示好讓你鼓起勇氣脫離險境。”304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLErdaxRbpV
衛威恩以食指輕點安東尼的心臟位置說。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRITdXfKphF
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A4fJd96EI
安東尼本來就是個不擅措辭的人，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1eINs8xZw
在口齒伶俐的衛威恩臉前突然一度語塞。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6xCHD7dtO
衛威恩乘著此空檔又接著說。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExu4mnBDvW
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz8nvg5Pnd
“無論如何，你昨晚也經歷過糟透了的事。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLzMjqwpWT
現在要做到就是和我一起去吃早餐，
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkBMqqMAVH
完成今天的工作後休息幾天，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhy2n4GVsa
像我一樣調整下步伐再面對人生。
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCPS3CuIg0
抱歉，小孩 讓你等了一段時間。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFZOKlPYYK
希望我們的交談沒有耽誤你寶貴的時間。 304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUn2dpkItj
衛威恩．威克森”304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx6A540ONp
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78lEkVHG75
衛威恩從偉兹手上接過報紙的同時，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYtyPpC45M
伸出左手表示友好。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcfLaeKl8b
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeEXt0mRIB
“我是偉兹．霍華德，當然沒有耽誤呀！”304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyulFeo5dj
偉兹緊握衛威恩的左手後準備離去。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WtgLdWjNl
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsgnObZLoj
“你不...不....和我們一起吃早餐嗎”304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV6JTdUG2N
安東尼聽完衛威森的話後，多少也有點釋懷。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJhVxo9dbS
希望和兩位朋友一起吃早餐以放鬆心情。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe1ZuHRMTx
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5IyAPFCBz
“下次吧，我還得把單車泊回家。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2MoCmWB4j
再見了衛威恩先生和安東尼，304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1FIajxrHi
祝你們有美好的一天”304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnK374uqJE
