據偉兹所知351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWZVdUWy1I
雷爾夫先生是位退役軍人，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8UKA4lOJD
同時也是年紀相近朋友———351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZThjK6LqPT
帕特里克·普斯特的父親。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfSV34s5tz
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7PHGg4p0P
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。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS9br7h7D3
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAZ7UQpRPQ
阿登步道就是條人手鋪設的花崗石路，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWTbZJWzqg
週邊是綠意盎然的森林。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVuZ13EO0J
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyDgzL3s1w
白天時基本上就只有松鼠，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPtIrYumxC
白兔等毫無威脅性的野生動物。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSoozL9JQ7
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。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0alAmDwut
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnRmgQXsSi
但近期傳有野豬在步道附近出沒的傳言，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4ioGWvpjL
鮑伯農場亦受到野豬滋擾。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTe48bjDep
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGVgtqEDQZ
帕特里克和偉兹在森林中嬉戲時也受到襲擊，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP0WhdT7qR
幸好雷爾夫先生及時來到驅逐了野豬。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD7YJpzSh5
兩人才沒受到傷害。
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJAT1gpe17
這次之後，
偉兹便立志要成為像雷爾夫這樣的男子漢。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpugE580011
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBnnNrF0Rq
而今天早上，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aUEy6giRg
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。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvujH1q3H27
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlBeiaXWTw
偉兹從車頭的布袋內抽出一紮報紙，
抛向雷爾夫。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZcO7p5wnL
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ8KpoduGb
“早安，雷爾夫先生！帕特里克的腳沒有大礙吧？” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DWttqbxOB
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV5ozE8IMw
“原來是偉兹呀，請別嚇我。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHOgXZVd7O
帕特里克應該再休息一天就可以和你去玩了，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeuDbHzDdg
但請不要再去阿登步道了哦。″ 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgmI9hDJbm
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvoP7Jq6la
雷爾夫的反應似乎不如平時般從容，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dTe8P82pv
反而像為躲避著什麼而鬼鬼祟祟似的。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RrpQ17vP0
若不是偉兹認識雷爾夫，他定必會被當成小偷。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW9B3Aj4sr
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirXApM0sIx
“我知道了！”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSsxD1MgEc
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw5MXSOb8n
雷爾夫接下報紙後，背後的家門緩緩張開，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAbLrAnvjX
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。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERKzDyT0ja
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBtqu3m0Jf
雷爾夫沒有馬上轉身，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYGQb9ZsZq
在戰鬥開始前至少要讓無辜的偉兹離開。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlWYYcoAE0
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2P9qfgvLZ
“早安！普斯特夫人！”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO868n3wv3U
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkxNYbZxJW
“早安呀偉兹，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS19P9u3DT
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。”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscQnULaA2R
普斯特夫人回應時雖然臉帶微笑，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiJMyryMO2
但也讓偉茲感受到微弱的壓迫感。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDxLjpJWjk
而且這話可能根本不是說給自己聽的。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1rkyuHKuq
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9DeV7JazM
“說得也對呢，我差不多要上學了，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo8rV9NakW
得趕去最後一戶，再見兩位.....”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo8tZSq5Fy
偉兹語氣沒有了剛才的熱情。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu7Y8iyDjR
普斯特夫婦也笑著揮手回應，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXDpRua0jg
雷爾夫臉上的笑容像是帶著一點哀愁。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1cPhiobXK
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k1wIuzYGc
“親愛的，你不會是剛剛才回到家吧？”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xb3APzLQo
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUFdHYZcbo
″當....當....當然不是呀，艾露娜......″351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5mSUgi84D
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov4FzjJIjT
偉兹沒有再聽下去，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ7uLevxOa
只是在疑惑著雷爾夫先生是不是和安東尼一樣有口吃。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dl0U0J6zo
很多年後已成人父的他才能稍稍理解雷爾夫的感受。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAHJpIjRS3
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzcIT8wnPP
最後一站，威克森家就在普斯特家對邊。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Vn8JfGml
偉兹一直對擔任過警察的衛威恩非常感興趣，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWHT9xNgFe
衛威恩年幼時曾和家人一度遷出大城市，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc4Jp2u65S
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcyeNj30f2
於半年前某件有關鮑伯農場的案件後。 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEwN5yrfeL
心灰意冷的衛威恩交出警章和配槍，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyOj6QHZ01
獨自回到諾谷湖鎮居住。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaTHREw6gh
但奇怪的是偉兹從沒見過衛威恩本人。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHIU16wcuV
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8zZVuIKPH
比起流傳著奇怪傳言的雷爾夫，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJMrB2wwfw
衛威恩在鎮上的風評確實不俗，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfztQxOxRm7
市集的商店老闆都欣賞他爽快和正直。
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVRvMj6jKq
留在和睦的鎮上是種浪費，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcKXubzgE1
他應該回到大城市繼續撲滅罪惡，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVLolxGXZi
成為守護市民的警察才對。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidrdoJxyRp
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjiYh9iqEq
偉兹來到威克森家前，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsQA54bGUJ
而門前有一位偉兹非常熟識的訪客在和衛威恩交談。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOMH8GmGNi
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9WjzDvVK4
這是最後一站，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S94GzM5yE
偉兹把單車停泊在道路旁，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1il9KVbcTt
他不用拋的派送方式，下車親手遞給衛威恩。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1ctZpvboF
藉此一窺洛城警署三級警探的風采。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5AAyJQnhN
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5rNZ8cxdN
“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。
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz91qSbfuJA
貨車進退兩難時，我就出現了？”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HWG1jDzSG
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJStzMCRxdZ
″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″ 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HyATljWXH
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEWHCN0W2t
“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。”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc7wErw08c
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCUVPBYgWr
“但我...沒....有犯罪....” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNox4yFXlP
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqtkTHgwwo
“我當然知道了朋友，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuRlNqAycE
但我雖然很強壯也不可能徒手搬起重至上噸的樹木吧？”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTymCeJ1Se
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ4bS6P7GW
“好像有...道...理” 安東尼看向衛威恩的雙臂說道。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaG181Iwjz
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyjxDT55tN
“可能你只是太累了，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZC4XK450b
我昨晚在家睡了一整晚，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA8mjTNdXP
直至你的拍門聲弄醒我。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPNVSCXhCd
所以又怎可能出現在你眼前呢？”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWFVs7r3qs
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1D7BSXOor
“抱.....歉”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB2zFdCSNa
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VPO3EuYU3
“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。
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZeNUwmlBM
可能你真的遇上樹木倒塌意外，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNpBhvOwoa
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。” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBOJ2bWcGw
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDGywBNEwi
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。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mvzjZbpma
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S79iDKfjX
“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，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNlWMCz7Nc
給你重要的提示好讓你鼓起勇氣脫離險境。”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgA2Sutx61
衛威恩以食指輕點安東尼的心臟位置說。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafCA6820N2
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVK8UV5qm6
安東尼本來就是個不擅措辭的人，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FkGdx1IqA
在口齒伶俐的衛威恩臉前突然一度語塞。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYtjCVchjR
衛威恩乘著此空檔又接著說。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJVYn1JxbH
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfdYPwT6tj
“無論如何，你昨晚也經歷過糟透了的事。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR64qsB84ON
現在要做到就是和我一起去吃早餐，
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgHZQIKVdH
完成今天的工作後休息幾天，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hSHS0zGRR
像我一樣調整下步伐再面對人生。
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEC2Es70Gw
抱歉，小孩 讓你等了一段時間。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQnQyVmDPg
希望我們的交談沒有耽誤你寶貴的時間。 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ4M5URNMB
衛威恩．威克森”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvVgX0zqpD
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf35ble4ZiL
衛威恩從偉兹手上接過報紙的同時，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuhkM4QtaN
伸出左手表示友好。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46IqRUIkoP
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0MtapyVst
“我是偉兹．霍華德，當然沒有耽誤呀！”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKosydbDriN
偉兹緊握衛威恩的左手後準備離去。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7LkZS4btt
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEqVRJ2qpP
“你不...不....和我們一起吃早餐嗎”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4UGLipt9Q
安東尼聽完衛威森的話後，多少也有點釋懷。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPtqviIaHH
希望和兩位朋友一起吃早餐以放鬆心情。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz6HM6fDq5
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05YMvYl65o
“下次吧，我還得把單車泊回家。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiIaw6T3x9
再見了衛威恩先生和安東尼，351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TehsoBs8X
祝你們有美好的一天”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO2FY1mLyl
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHERuUhK847
“再見”兩人異口同聲向衛兹道別。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLygYhY3Zj
