據偉兹所知345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz09qOpMEJ
雷爾夫先生是位退役軍人，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvqmt4mW9B
同時也是年紀相近朋友———345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNDFgR7YvO
帕特里克·普斯特的父親。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp59qArIBRw
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H1LH5w23c
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7yIAh4lqm
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsHZkBQrHe
阿登步道就是條人手鋪設的花崗石路，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Wcc5x5wf
週邊是綠意盎然的森林。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EJJrqQGRE
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3p8CpFzhO
白天時基本上就只有松鼠，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BAeKnOyaK
白兔等毫無威脅性的野生動物。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjNh1qiGmD
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa193aJ7EbW
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKNb65PfU3
但近期傳有野豬在步道附近出沒的傳言，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yph18qe30
鮑伯農場亦受到野豬滋擾。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdecShm9t3E
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgpTPNymlv
帕特里克和偉兹在森林中嬉戲時也受到襲擊，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYruG6JktBc
幸好雷爾夫先生及時來到驅逐了野豬。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCU457YuSR
兩人才沒受到傷害。
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sNfPpORH7
這次之後，
偉兹便立志要成為像雷爾夫這樣的男子漢。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoH0Ay38Rj
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYZuc7giVv
而今天早上，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9emmEaw7H
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFibYSf5hn
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdtzjkqvd1
偉兹從車頭的布袋內抽出一紮報紙，
抛向雷爾夫。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj893nnhbT
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgKcPmkn0i
“早安，雷爾夫先生！帕特里克的腳沒有大礙吧？” 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JVvQgS5SP
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OOOSpd53u
“原來是偉兹呀，請別嚇我。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3J0nMkedS
帕特里克應該再休息一天就可以和你去玩了，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xOOwYFGHE
但請不要再去阿登步道了哦。″ 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1Rwd5FAuT
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gPdIs79B0
雷爾夫的反應似乎不如平時般從容，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80gej7Sx77
反而像為躲避著什麼而鬼鬼祟祟似的。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbUu8DGp8z
若不是偉兹認識雷爾夫，他定必會被當成小偷。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4vIRTyE6v
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqSXNXHcxf
“我知道了！”345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKATLQFOgz
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRjpwDTq3m
雷爾夫接下報紙後，背後的家門緩緩張開，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX6LCOzTD7
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFvAexLzM8
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjk355A7cg
雷爾夫沒有馬上轉身，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrUStVf8r8
在戰鬥開始前至少要讓無辜的偉兹離開。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphPlkdiejw
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcExrt1Hc0
“早安！普斯特夫人！”345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA7MWZsngO
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Kdde7ChFp
“早安呀偉兹，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwr7RBAulz
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。”345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4W33u1qIS
普斯特夫人回應時雖然臉帶微笑，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEN3WYKvnQ
但也讓偉茲感受到微弱的壓迫感。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIA3MJa9ZQ
而且這話可能根本不是說給自己聽的。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAa5X15uqw
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5soVKBLgx
“說得也對呢，我差不多要上學了，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm3Sl1AXC8
得趕去最後一戶，再見兩位.....”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeRRMI2UtN
偉兹語氣沒有了剛才的熱情。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kUykuRhoN
普斯特夫婦也笑著揮手回應，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLp0xDfWiD
雷爾夫臉上的笑容像是帶著一點哀愁。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81IuNnqFGZ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOpbSKsegq
“親愛的，你不會是剛剛才回到家吧？”345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsXxkg44Lu
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kCMUga080
″當....當....當然不是呀，艾露娜......″345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYZ6TPbidg
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P1y8XbiNX
偉兹沒有再聽下去，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaDJfHDN9Y
只是在疑惑著雷爾夫先生是不是和安東尼一樣有口吃。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANxOMKa5Iz
很多年後已成人父的他才能稍稍理解雷爾夫的感受。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPX1IDMwBo
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyhwa2QIX9
最後一站，威克森家就在普斯特家對邊。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLxS2kl57V
偉兹一直對擔任過警察的衛威恩非常感興趣，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtbRyJCRv3
衛威恩年幼時曾和家人一度遷出大城市，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gXNLnSbO3
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo6OuUV2Us
於半年前某件有關鮑伯農場的案件後。 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjzMqFTwCH
心灰意冷的衛威恩交出警章和配槍，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJC6DQhbaD
獨自回到諾谷湖鎮居住。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9LsRzUb8z
但奇怪的是偉兹從沒見過衛威恩本人。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDl4pFN8UR
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH7rjH5zsB
比起流傳著奇怪傳言的雷爾夫，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUx1KgYZQU
衛威恩在鎮上的風評確實不俗，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyojFpjz37
市集的商店老闆都欣賞他爽快和正直。
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnnPIdoz2w
留在和睦的鎮上是種浪費，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IvpKoFBgh
他應該回到大城市繼續撲滅罪惡，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKjL6bb9zE
成為守護市民的警察才對。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MyT00wBVr
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZMLUnvlhs
偉兹來到威克森家前，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs4vNMq3Dk
而門前有一位偉兹非常熟識的訪客在和衛威恩交談。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtbISeJDlf
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccjWsgr0nk
這是最後一站，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WgQuZYMuU
偉兹把單車停泊在道路旁，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgQ5uijT9l
他不用拋的派送方式，下車親手遞給衛威恩。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP42QyCLIr
藉此一窺洛城警署三級警探的風采。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V2h4HrFuz
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacE4Va9UjD
“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。
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS43ayruRs
貨車進退兩難時，我就出現了？”345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni457Tvj1D
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLScPBBFpC9
″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″ 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrxOAbFe9a
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtIl98psvX
“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。”345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEckCkcUC2
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS2QYeCNAW
“但我...沒....有犯罪....” 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S5AqpbfUL
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNzhpb302L
“我當然知道了朋友，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONvonTtmAQ
但我雖然很強壯也不可能徒手搬起重至上噸的樹木吧？”345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdYhi4tIhn
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuHEWu7Or6
“好像有...道...理” 安東尼看向衛威恩的雙臂說道。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVpMT641co
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0m7PtCQBE
“可能你只是太累了，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEB4v7o6J1
我昨晚在家睡了一整晚，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILSsTyAYqw
直至你的拍門聲弄醒我。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmZscWEgWV
所以又怎可能出現在你眼前呢？”345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIIXVBocoS
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwt8Hbqtc4
“抱.....歉”345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E5vb0hRpg
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9cyyM6Aiq
“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。
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrvROSseVS
可能你真的遇上樹木倒塌意外，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi6IDTxCCm
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。” 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGrMjqHlVz
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmMGeqE90Z
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。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3uuqfqBu0
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIj0J5UXtw
“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，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WkfkqSUkl
給你重要的提示好讓你鼓起勇氣脫離險境。”345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigmLHAm3jg
衛威恩以食指輕點安東尼的心臟位置說。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOmSPVuGBe
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynfmLy2StX
安東尼本來就是個不擅措辭的人，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrERcCXC0Yh
在口齒伶俐的衛威恩臉前突然一度語塞。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8qGUkSMBA
衛威恩乘著此空檔又接著說。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SvXi4QUjh
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwdKzdlYbE
“無論如何，你昨晚也經歷過糟透了的事。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSehw3wXCA
現在要做到就是和我一起去吃早餐，
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoyiOf2Bng
完成今天的工作後休息幾天，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUrwlhV0YI
像我一樣調整下步伐再面對人生。
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqyCcPnIhT
抱歉，小孩 讓你等了一段時間。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyebXIEl97
希望我們的交談沒有耽誤你寶貴的時間。 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURUdfKqnPs
衛威恩．威克森”345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT27NMc4NkX
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B6vOBZz9o
衛威恩從偉兹手上接過報紙的同時，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYkvdR3ONq
伸出左手表示友好。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbAfrI3oxL
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi58Bgk7if
“我是偉兹．霍華德，當然沒有耽誤呀！”345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IvkvvAIy9
偉兹緊握衛威恩的左手後準備離去。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtclyyMC7ID
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBiFwTkGG6
“你不...不....和我們一起吃早餐嗎”345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyXdcslFhw
安東尼聽完衛威森的話後，多少也有點釋懷。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyic3HAqaP2
希望和兩位朋友一起吃早餐以放鬆心情。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv161xSYfm1
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYeyAqnaAL
“下次吧，我還得把單車泊回家。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwwoH970MY
再見了衛威恩先生和安東尼，345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WqsJXFMMT
祝你們有美好的一天”345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVI0zVj0dr
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2OoJL8yNg
“再見”兩人異口同聲向衛兹道別。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlXaM6lPej
