被拋棄於世上的親愛的你啊，究竟該如何事好？42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4hBaD0wah

抱持著回憶繼續在未來的荊棘路上前進？又或是佐以回憶痲痺身心，留自己於無救的空白……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp58QCQX62o

「中尉？」一打聽到霍克愛所處的地點，法爾曼急急忙忙衝了過去。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtsiZhTMyM
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y72663JXx
空曠無人的東方司令部大廳門口，一名金髮綰在腦後的女子正單膝著地，在她正前方，是一名哭倒在地的老婦人。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWsjWOGhQM
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjbZ14z8OY
「准尉，」莉莎‧霍克愛緩緩回頭，她的手輕輕放在婦人的背上，原本燙平的衣襟出現了皺折，袖口有著淚漬，她低聲問：「你知道阿斯方‧米德恩？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3Ipy9ApAd
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHgFC1008e
「第二小隊隊長，獨子，幼年喪父，與六十八歲母親相依為命，前兩天出勤掃蕩走私武器喪命。」法爾曼有條不紊地報告。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEDmRnz2c4
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5PIFE3anC
「嗯，你在這陪她，等米德恩夫人能夠平靜處理事情，再帶她去填寫撫卹証件，順便整理阿斯方的遺物。」她輕撫老婦人的顫抖的背脊，爾後站了起來。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZwLqauqPO
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsy5RLLJLX
「中尉，不要緊吧？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ929L237EXU
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6PTlxrgY9
長時間維持蹲姿讓她雙腳發痲，差點因平衡感不佳而跌倒，嚇了法爾曼一大跳。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUWhL5L3kW
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJcJ9Z3iqM
「不礙事，腳有點痲。」她擺擺手，站挺身子，「交給你了。撫卹證件的部份，希望一次就能辦齊。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7YL8AIQOa
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiDAxHttVx
「沒問題。」法爾曼在接獲中尉命令時，就已經把文件準備齊全。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftCCqDaRPn
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVubep8fH45
撫卹文件的過程稍嫌繁雜，如果辦理時忽略了某部份，還得等之後補齊相當麻煩。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c1HzIk9rF
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyReAQQhVDf
但是……中尉為什麼會這麼了解呢？法爾曼不禁疑惑著。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBROSAObNV
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdECog0wGQA
但這不是最重要的事，姑且放一邊不管，「中尉，還有一件事，」法爾曼神色警戒的看了看四周，確定沒人後才以兩人聽得到的音量說：「中央的巡視，聽說提前了……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uCjPp0Av8
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2s4WEjUVz
「突襲檢查嗎？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZwD3NRsfb
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEncPgkYype
霍克愛的神情緊崩了起來。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9EdPIypLc
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j4Sw08SDw
說是檢查，其實是核定該人是否有資格升任。對於她的上司──羅伊‧馬斯坦古來說，絕對是件重要的事。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCy0gnDfr0
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvbB9fz7Ev
如果在檢查時發現了不好的情況……那升調中央之事，便不用談了。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDXsJqh6ru
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9m66Xidvo
「是，官方預定時間是下個禮拜，但消息傳來是這幾天，上校他……」法爾曼的臉上流露出擔心的神情。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgmJZN7y5b
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kg407GupV
「還沒進辦公室嗎？」霍克愛沉思著。昨天上校職勤到下午，今天是早班。但離開辦公室的時間似乎是……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHOziqg9L0
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLWgy9EtA9
從馬斯‧休斯的葬禮回來後，上校的狀況……其實很不穩定。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HEgTyeWAh
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGVR0Qi0f5
她隱隱知道有某件事正在進行，但仍舊擔心。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tR4YJz1Xg
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr16eHQ004J
「知道了。不用擔心。」她也只能如此回答。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuvQp26wXZ
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dQDxzIKjC
必需相信他。從她所能找到的線索幫他處理好事情。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImap5gvFkl
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52kNKgfCC3
「啊……中尉那個……」看著中尉勉力隱藏雙腳發痲的情形，一邊緩步向前，逞強的挺直著背，法爾曼不禁嘆了口氣。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbk9LAjLR5
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXql2F0VcLv
天知道她在這兒蹲了多久，願意花這麼多時間陪著軍人遺族的人，也只有外表看似嚴謹實則溫柔的霍克愛中尉了吧！42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Ui2CJ8sq
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32zy4OiqTx
還好有中尉在。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIPliLIOAN
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMZnPeKaoD
對他們來說，比起和敵人作戰，安撫死去同事的家屬更叫人害怕。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeiLKmadik
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbG8rmge1B
失去親人的悲傷，連最堅硬的盾都可以腐蝕。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErxgbbHgsA
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG09ufBqBVs
但叫他安慰對方，這實在不是他拿手的事啊。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxAHysY0H0
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWxVP5Gq83
他瞇著眼睛抓頭髮，總不能臨陣落跑，不然到時會落得跟黑色疾風一樣的下場吧？42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBqCeZ13nl
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdjTHNbCMI
他左思右想，最後決定從他善長的下手。「米德恩夫人……」他靜靜地蹲在那，不催促哭泣的婦人也不說漂亮的安慰話，就像對著床邊孩子講顧事一般，阿斯方‧米德恩入伍後的功勳與表現隨著微風徐徐吹過，穿越了大廳。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk61tk9uMF

帶著混雜著啜泣聲的故事傳入霍克愛走不遠的耳中。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLmMf8MhIy
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgwXeKwPwM
她略微讚賞的揚起嘴角，眼睛直視前方，腦中正飛快地盤算著今天的行程。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAyzB0HV24
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rn7cRacYb
穿過走廊到了上校的辦公室，一打開門，映入眼簾的是一片狼藉的辦公室，還有滿地的紙飛機。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLdztKu4N4
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk7Q0V4kVl
霍克愛嘆了口氣，小心翼翼地跨過障礙，便彎身撿拾飛機，再一張一張攤開。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNOjdllrw9
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZZk5YYSeD
上面都已簽上了羅伊‧馬斯坦古的名字。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaEeZVAjzR
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PfabDb5Sh
之後再將上司桌上的文件集合起來，一張一張細心地檢查，依照編號排序，再根據她所做的表格一一最做後確認。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml8XewgQit
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DkeBy7ZXP
「真是……」看完後再看一眼日期，她不禁揚起無奈的笑容。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvyrVB1rpe
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tB5WU9p6j
「中尉！不好了！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOCGdLXica
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1MHqiOfPD
哈博克慌張的聲音從外面衝了進來，碰地一聲推開了大門，像一陣旋風一樣衝了進來。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlsxXePbTY
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknO3dSoWSC
「剛才阿姆斯壯少校來電，說哈庫洛將軍要來視察。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg8s74NW9S
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zvt6kXDA8
「這麼快？」還是哈庫洛將軍……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK1BdSPxm4
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PWxulMh4s
誰都好，偏偏挑到哈庫洛將軍……上司以二十九歲的年紀晉升上校，已經惹來許多人的眼紅，其中又以哈庫洛為最。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UE7rng5s6
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqWsFWZwMw
他就像禿鷹一樣，盤旋在羅伊‧馬斯坦古的頭上，隨時準備啄下他毫無防備的雙眼。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zTuivLTtO
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt65D60NUI0
「對啊！好像是突擊檢查！啊！完蛋了啦！上校他到底跑到哪裡去了？該做的公文都沒做完，晚上還跑去跟女孩子約會，這一陣子都一臉縱慾過度的樣子……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWyaXEt4bm
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWmFlfltiY
「縱慾過度？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYoSL2gPyP
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sttkgB67M
霍克愛皺眉。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Zvjq7HeH
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbXcCk4Il7
哈博克剛衝進來時，便大啟門扉，尤其是剛剛大聲嚷嚷，讓經過的軍人們無不停下腳步好奇的往裡面看。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpwt9bEjrU
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKdqdWzlCy
「對啊！中尉妳沒發現嗎？上校這幾天常常穿著隔天的軍服都沒換啊！」哈博克像完全沒注意到霍克愛不悅的表情，繼續大聲嚷嚷，「昨天本來要和我去清點兵器庫，居然做到一半就把我留下來說什麼要跟『賈桂琳』約會，昨天不知道混到幾點，連鬍子都沒刮就來上班了！嗚啊！難道休斯准將的死給他這麼大的打擊只能去找女人嗎？要是被查出來了我們會不會被拖累啊……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnfnKVrDOM
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR0n3klxrO
連珠砲似地抱怨了一堆，一個人誇張地在那兒東跳西跳的哈博克停不下來地四處搜尋，想看看失蹤的上司是否躲在辦公桌後看他的笑話。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOggf91UEd
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHKPJSknoH
但是，底下完全沒有人。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5O7KOapyJ
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmeBt1jSRF
「哈博克少尉。」霍克愛再度嘆了口氣，「冷靜下來，我先去找上校，你注意一下情況，如果哈庫洛將軍來了，立刻通知我。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj12PK2abI
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHy2FVFUgy
「遵、遵命！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxnWcVOAsz
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjV1Z7bvSD
留著緊張兮兮的哈博克下來，霍克愛拿著公文疾走至收發室，回想著昨天晚上上校批閱的最後一份。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfdnvZA1nd
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI1dWT8tuJ
似乎是有關疤痕男的相關報告。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATas5rKt0Z
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXpYzG3g12
她在腦海中快速推斷上校最近的行事以及關注事項，決定先前往最有可能找到人的地方──資料室。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb5Ihuumbk
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBYnEAoe66
通往資料室的途中，霍克愛不停地聽到「上校昨天和賈桂琳又去約會」、「聽說很晚才回去呢」、「縱慾過度」等話題，八卦散佈的速度比她想的還要快。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPmyza1Ofu
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtPNKdSNq2
哈博克剛剛的態度對她來講太不自然了！42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOAwJwnPHt
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tLpsrZpkB
就算平時對上司多所怨言，也還不至於口無遮欄到在有人會經過的場合大放厥辭，尤其是這種敏感時間所放出去的八卦……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbwWsjUArh
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTwm0k2ONY
嚼著舌根的軍人看到無不害怕的噤聲，一副怕被她訓話的樣子，紛紛讓開一條路。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMYdSVjy08

順路過去拿了上校的衣物才過來的霍克愛，一打開資料室的門，就看到黑色軍靴出現在門後。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN7E2aAuy2
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZAWmvtlKq
「果然在這……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kSWoRyEU5
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo2C4fEcp1
她的上司──羅伊‧馬斯坦古上校正以檔案為枕頭呼呼地睡大覺。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALMHZ2I8s7
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0a1yY90Jf
要是被其他人看到了，不免又要被說是「工作不認真」吧！42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhymBWhk0M3
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiX0gX6oBG
她小心翼翼地關上門，危恐吵醒正在休息的上司。撿起四散的文件，文件上都是折痕，還有手指用力捏過留下的痕跡……以及水漬。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebqJZQEG2F
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JHcSdv8oL
霍克愛深深地嘆了口氣。悄悄跪在他的側邊，看著因疲倦與壓抑而勞累的他，突然覺得於心不忍……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LevhXyxIL
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTn7mpqfBA
黑色的瀏海蓋住他緊閉的眼，原本醒著時被壓抑的落寞與悲傷，在他沉睡時便浮現出來。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4znwkHXHS
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUhTe0Xl3B
深深的黑眼圈昭示著他的不安與脆弱，那定是對友人的懊悔與思念，她猜想她的長官這幾天一定沒睡上個好覺吧……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFqLMSQvLG
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wy7uCXzqk
自從休斯准將過世後，只要辦公室的電話響起，上校的臉色都不好看。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLAIR089a9
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgUjHUzO5j
有一次，甚至還脫口而出：「是休斯嗎？這傢伙真是的……一定又打來炫耀……」爾後如夢初醒的淡淡說了一句：「我一定是做夢了……休斯你這傢伙，連死掉了都要在夢中炫耀你的妻女嗎？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2jTAcztXD
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSKSSjNnn2
那表情，令她痛心。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffyCpnGlxT
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuupclCwud
「呃……」原本仰躺的上校忽然一個翻身，躺在書緣的腦袋就這樣光明正大的翻上了她的大腿。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIR38wJ8Lx
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYvLDKLKWe
這、這……霍克愛一時慌了手腳，本能的想站起來躲避這過於親密的舉動，但一想到上校好不容易能夠睡上一覺，她硬是壓下了不安，強迫自己維持跪姿。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBAJFPcycI
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdYbPzlWYd
看著隱沒在牆上陰影的掛鐘指著九點五十七分，心想過五分鐘再叫醒他吧，哈庫洛將軍不會這麼快就到了。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxy4RMH1nS
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb7bBOgBVr
這幾天中央動做不斷。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYff03enWA
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZMV415xWF
所有人幾乎等著看好戲──等著看他逾越職權調查休斯死因；看他會不會因為失去好友意志消沉；看他會不會……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQXgsTXwIS
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQokUSmWgD
所有人等著在他露出破綻，給他致命一擊！42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrskOA6Vt9t
沉重的壓力與悔恨的心情，究竟在他心裡堆疊成多高的牆？42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87th4g17Hf
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t8VpGA55C
霍克愛第一次寧可這個男人再次崩潰大哭。但他沒有。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fLUc2hMWR
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vUCvXZnFX
『中尉，下雨了呢！』在休斯准尉入土為安的那個豔陽天，他的世界獨自下起了雨。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGn1yyzinN
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gc2nzCwYW
只有他一人淋濕而已……貼心的藏起所有不安與負面情緒，只為了安撫下屬。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeKdq7RSvq
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn3CbgeaiF
伸手撥了撥他的瀏海，然後看到，這個睡像不怎麼樣的男人正張著嘴，悄悄的流著口水……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPhobQ2DLM
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhbmfInlLZ
她不禁失笑，像他這樣叱吒風雲的人物，若是被愛慕他的女性看到了這副不怎麼帥氣的睡像，應該會夢想破滅嗎？42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFicp8dU5D
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChjQH3esFf
從口袋拿出乾淨的手帕替他擦了擦嘴角。「真孩子氣……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fNBaTYdtL
