據偉兹所知348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZbG2ETdr4
雷爾夫先生是位退役軍人，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThK08ffcd4
同時也是年紀相近朋友———348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYEEr7LWJ2
帕特里克·普斯特的父親。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44nApTC3LZ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGCNm574KX
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1P0x6HMUK
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0TO4OTWlx
阿登步道就是條人手鋪設的花崗石路，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPfwZCYsBW
週邊是綠意盎然的森林。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUe8s3QiVR
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeL0eOJ8a8
白天時基本上就只有松鼠，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe93cQnq4xW
白兔等毫無威脅性的野生動物。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhubmB6w5Xm
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYFVVaxgqC
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nscOFggep
但近期傳有野豬在步道附近出沒的傳言，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DggRC8Tc7
鮑伯農場亦受到野豬滋擾。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRcZItJ8VN
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26ZW23NQMM
帕特里克和偉兹在森林中嬉戲時也受到襲擊，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNe9OxKqlF
幸好雷爾夫先生及時來到驅逐了野豬。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSCYDR9G9G
兩人才沒受到傷害。
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnqyAtX6vO
這次之後，
偉兹便立志要成為像雷爾夫這樣的男子漢。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb4jXxCXX4
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56c8nTggXG
而今天早上，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUn7ATn68I
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gJNOeb9US
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAk7iFCq7e
偉兹從車頭的布袋內抽出一紮報紙，
抛向雷爾夫。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7jZ8949a8
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tjePS60B4
“早安，雷爾夫先生！帕特里克的腳沒有大礙吧？” 348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67SaADiYKs
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNOK6avbn7
“原來是偉兹呀，請別嚇我。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH4T7yz0To
帕特里克應該再休息一天就可以和你去玩了，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7kXN6gqjp
但請不要再去阿登步道了哦。″ 348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGnEL4ryvd
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiOA0a3V0s
雷爾夫的反應似乎不如平時般從容，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNHrOmdpHk
反而像為躲避著什麼而鬼鬼祟祟似的。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFmTSaaXsz
若不是偉兹認識雷爾夫，他定必會被當成小偷。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8rMnzQNcH
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WXh1hvMDo
“我知道了！”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KihuDQcIw
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiXTRgQ9ty
雷爾夫接下報紙後，背後的家門緩緩張開，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7ty3syxrx
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f26JVCLJM
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZihaw1fhH
雷爾夫沒有馬上轉身，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhmNh2Xs7O
在戰鬥開始前至少要讓無辜的偉兹離開。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylfvPzSCeg
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtyWHIDb6w
“早安！普斯特夫人！”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiT4vsfeIa
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXCHJphqJC
“早安呀偉兹，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEVaXsvwZG
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。”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXHsu0yusa
普斯特夫人回應時雖然臉帶微笑，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLf0LNKdcV
但也讓偉茲感受到微弱的壓迫感。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1YSQwhAGe
而且這話可能根本不是說給自己聽的。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dq5R8UoAd
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg7KL7PBIA
“說得也對呢，我差不多要上學了，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72R6otNwXj
得趕去最後一戶，再見兩位.....”
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSy2KxBuLE
偉兹語氣沒有了剛才的熱情。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaSEHSEApj
普斯特夫婦也笑著揮手回應，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzNMDjNu2o
雷爾夫臉上的笑容像是帶著一點哀愁。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVZarqfEx0
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfaaxROsDs
“親愛的，你不會是剛剛才回到家吧？”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5JJ4yi8Sd
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v28WIoq5r
″當....當....當然不是呀，艾露娜......″348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4zsZstWCi
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz6NVPqC9p
偉兹沒有再聽下去，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i1uQigGBG
只是在疑惑著雷爾夫先生是不是和安東尼一樣有口吃。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX6n5zlVJX
很多年後已成人父的他才能稍稍理解雷爾夫的感受。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOaJjy6Ckc
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTKrJyuaz2
最後一站，威克森家就在普斯特家對邊。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaBijVYXNZ
偉兹一直對擔任過警察的衛威恩非常感興趣，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAZJELvL2T
衛威恩年幼時曾和家人一度遷出大城市，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf3T4o5XCP
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvc6MvZN0h
於半年前某件有關鮑伯農場的案件後。 348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGOcGwxjgf
心灰意冷的衛威恩交出警章和配槍，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRLJPyrQlr
獨自回到諾谷湖鎮居住。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5p58tIZAD
但奇怪的是偉兹從沒見過衛威恩本人。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccyWjsRfhT
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchvTYdWSLq
比起流傳著奇怪傳言的雷爾夫，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdfb5vh64y
衛威恩在鎮上的風評確實不俗，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnsxiiri8v
市集的商店老闆都欣賞他爽快和正直。
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq5OV7M0k7
留在和睦的鎮上是種浪費，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsbkOPivQC
他應該回到大城市繼續撲滅罪惡，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KdGTuisIX
成為守護市民的警察才對。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8huuxy8xN
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRwnTewyEF
偉兹來到威克森家前，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h4E7q0oZi
而門前有一位偉兹非常熟識的訪客在和衛威恩交談。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7usleC6oPx
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4AdkhURbM
這是最後一站，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw40UPQ7BR
偉兹把單車停泊在道路旁，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAxY8LDEns
他不用拋的派送方式，下車親手遞給衛威恩。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8c9GIaeKU
藉此一窺洛城警署三級警探的風采。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpwmI06Meu
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcH8on3VzF
“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。
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsrXvjW4dB
貨車進退兩難時，我就出現了？”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOjGs2Hozj
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0wGeZrwPw
″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″ 348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn1cfvZsNi
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsw3IbJMz0
“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。”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxhwNxm0OH
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbfOJ73YAV
“但我...沒....有犯罪....” 348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1FCuy6WPi
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVCu06n759
“我當然知道了朋友，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyhqc8AYBe
但我雖然很強壯也不可能徒手搬起重至上噸的樹木吧？”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPyge3A1dQ
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eJZ6VAkFE
“好像有...道...理” 安東尼看向衛威恩的雙臂說道。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBilFr6oxzO
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOLIptNj9T
“可能你只是太累了，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXPmslM0Hc
我昨晚在家睡了一整晚，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgKUDsEtR5
直至你的拍門聲弄醒我。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLNr82hx7J
所以又怎可能出現在你眼前呢？”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4so2VdYjhh
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYppBMeei3j
“抱.....歉”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkkCbTQUxP
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKvcTiUvKA
“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。
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKPl4IXYKb
可能你真的遇上樹木倒塌意外，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxVueaauh1
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。” 348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDclwZDJVy
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk5t1vUbnt
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。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGf3Fxr3Lj
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ40QSRGnq
“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，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwL8k1dBvL
給你重要的提示好讓你鼓起勇氣脫離險境。”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWHXAAVsnx
衛威恩以食指輕點安東尼的心臟位置說。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SpPVddDG3
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknfCScnhfP
安東尼本來就是個不擅措辭的人，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8jeU489DM
在口齒伶俐的衛威恩臉前突然一度語塞。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsabhYzajou
衛威恩乘著此空檔又接著說。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0mRhFdKIR
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJUmX1AD9Y
“無論如何，你昨晚也經歷過糟透了的事。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOto5pZHJhM
現在要做到就是和我一起去吃早餐，
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtMWAvBf1k
完成今天的工作後休息幾天，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS1esn6aHH
像我一樣調整下步伐再面對人生。
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa16qIlb1Qh
抱歉，小孩 讓你等了一段時間。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicVHTrTbBt
希望我們的交談沒有耽誤你寶貴的時間。 348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ336BhxLnWh
衛威恩．威克森”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzbVo7xZM3
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiWSX60YCB
衛威恩從偉兹手上接過報紙的同時，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZO7Uf7urz
伸出左手表示友好。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi1MDpd6GB
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHJVRLI6h9
“我是偉兹．霍華德，當然沒有耽誤呀！”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYfnxq9Zaj
偉兹緊握衛威恩的左手後準備離去。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ0MuBsxnx
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjRwcUjQbG
“你不...不....和我們一起吃早餐嗎”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe6330aKZ7
安東尼聽完衛威森的話後，多少也有點釋懷。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek3GE7JRnM
希望和兩位朋友一起吃早餐以放鬆心情。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjppEeMsf1R
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFett7Lm8kR
“下次吧，我還得把單車泊回家。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxtGnilVzd
再見了衛威恩先生和安東尼，348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfmz2WzAiE
祝你們有美好的一天”348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO0T8BuYX3
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpedOXX16mf
“再見”兩人異口同聲向衛兹道別。348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8ANSvOxgr
