據偉兹所知305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUScqgLkOU
雷爾夫先生是位退役軍人，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I8VriukjB
同時也是年紀相近朋友———305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN4GEnDz2z
帕特里克·普斯特的父親。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FjegLyc6o
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2gm29YXhR
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBebcu3Evp
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbfMsNzWjf
阿登步道就是條人手鋪設的花崗石路，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bpl44Dlgv
週邊是綠意盎然的森林。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobFM5rg80b
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerORgGaia3
白天時基本上就只有松鼠，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRldQhVgSRj
白兔等毫無威脅性的野生動物。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVDniB0uPf
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPLwANDzPB
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNdpEg9SCu
但近期傳有野豬在步道附近出沒的傳言，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxZZ8krBDv
鮑伯農場亦受到野豬滋擾。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHtOWsbsz8
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqfgXr4kio
帕特里克和偉兹在森林中嬉戲時也受到襲擊，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL98vOrDtm
幸好雷爾夫先生及時來到驅逐了野豬。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLp9EMRlcH
兩人才沒受到傷害。
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHF40STYrC
這次之後，
偉兹便立志要成為像雷爾夫這樣的男子漢。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouwS1YXWYj
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewLXypYtCt
而今天早上，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpsodkcABp
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglTlV4DXTR
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUDhaAw0lp
偉兹從車頭的布袋內抽出一紮報紙，
抛向雷爾夫。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3e6akW1eR
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8dHTyjLmv
“早安，雷爾夫先生！帕特里克的腳沒有大礙吧？” 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RCkF9brPO
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTqkPKeqkS
“原來是偉兹呀，請別嚇我。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy2xAzKB6r
帕特里克應該再休息一天就可以和你去玩了，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDe9SXE5jV
但請不要再去阿登步道了哦。″ 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fqe6fgFv1
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bLf35bgnL
雷爾夫的反應似乎不如平時般從容，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJzY2Ti3N4
反而像為躲避著什麼而鬼鬼祟祟似的。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UWnXCbzui
若不是偉兹認識雷爾夫，他定必會被當成小偷。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhBHLZeCIr
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XOK0uIZz6
“我知道了！”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZcJjSCsDh
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM1VuhDHOv
雷爾夫接下報紙後，背後的家門緩緩張開，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUW1MDTJTF
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmLQH9kmNW
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkdTg86NWT
雷爾夫沒有馬上轉身，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSwPt96pYr
在戰鬥開始前至少要讓無辜的偉兹離開。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9NvpKhCx4
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPuKRMYv0L
“早安！普斯特夫人！”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWE5hX5jwu
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTTES3uyrF
“早安呀偉兹，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLubW4DzcD
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。”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oixWZ7SnQ
普斯特夫人回應時雖然臉帶微笑，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqTiIlUldy
但也讓偉茲感受到微弱的壓迫感。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5zS5ZMX9b
而且這話可能根本不是說給自己聽的。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACcMHuTwzZ
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7i6G6mi8a
“說得也對呢，我差不多要上學了，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLWpvNIKF1
得趕去最後一戶，再見兩位.....”
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nz9pqdPrb
偉兹語氣沒有了剛才的熱情。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n67QHbIB6
普斯特夫婦也笑著揮手回應，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrqo6hoIhI
雷爾夫臉上的笑容像是帶著一點哀愁。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaaln095G3
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFUfd9pzaj
“親愛的，你不會是剛剛才回到家吧？”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfNbIYprL6
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjIoGYZvdq
″當....當....當然不是呀，艾露娜......″305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGSXsmXbDs
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MPmSnHJlx
偉兹沒有再聽下去，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqrByqKCM4
只是在疑惑著雷爾夫先生是不是和安東尼一樣有口吃。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMcqP3HfS1
很多年後已成人父的他才能稍稍理解雷爾夫的感受。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jC1eQE7Mu
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncZvvmf7YB
最後一站，威克森家就在普斯特家對邊。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRasRTtGZ8G
偉兹一直對擔任過警察的衛威恩非常感興趣，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWTKM66SOX
衛威恩年幼時曾和家人一度遷出大城市，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjOlSkC20J
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj1q98BooJ
於半年前某件有關鮑伯農場的案件後。 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKvGUjM9TP
心灰意冷的衛威恩交出警章和配槍，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgRPzqXwmR
獨自回到諾谷湖鎮居住。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa2QA1gkIw
但奇怪的是偉兹從沒見過衛威恩本人。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbpbBki1o9
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaZwPM8cyv
比起流傳著奇怪傳言的雷爾夫，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvAPJFHYCm
衛威恩在鎮上的風評確實不俗，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVatgOy0I1
市集的商店老闆都欣賞他爽快和正直。
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv6A9vxv93
留在和睦的鎮上是種浪費，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xt9hhA8r9
他應該回到大城市繼續撲滅罪惡，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGmbjwZFfa
成為守護市民的警察才對。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NOVYYa1pf
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmKaMssq6N
偉兹來到威克森家前，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRfkktJjKi
而門前有一位偉兹非常熟識的訪客在和衛威恩交談。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02QKVjFvPm
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSm2mFOOVE
這是最後一站，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnaGVURmE2
偉兹把單車停泊在道路旁，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ9wJuUC1R
他不用拋的派送方式，下車親手遞給衛威恩。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DwVEMXDPd
藉此一窺洛城警署三級警探的風采。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8sc8HhspM
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WqkpxB5Ox
“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。
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9rO3t7u66
貨車進退兩難時，我就出現了？”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsYcTfI4JE
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrTiaaFO9V
″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″ 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnWi9oTlc9
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaPOFxBQu8
“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。”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupoFbzlp0W
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCruFJE2UaV
“但我...沒....有犯罪....” 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cVMeoMZJJ
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ20nilZa5M
“我當然知道了朋友，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ONabBh09r
但我雖然很強壯也不可能徒手搬起重至上噸的樹木吧？”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneVj40yMxM
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5IRpAim2J
“好像有...道...理” 安東尼看向衛威恩的雙臂說道。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nvhqzc0dq
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSew7SVtWg
“可能你只是太累了，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZIwmD5wna
我昨晚在家睡了一整晚，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShkpe44cgX
直至你的拍門聲弄醒我。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfQdC3ZyfS
所以又怎可能出現在你眼前呢？”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEdvzBLcqt
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jZrF0UUPM
“抱.....歉”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmnlHdPsGE
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjCW9dP1yX
“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。
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMLRa4J0M9
可能你真的遇上樹木倒塌意外，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev6Moh4L7h
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。” 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuJSD4qFp4
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKCu1m7veO
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。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCpU30bmed
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpqkJ9VPyM
“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，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBr3cEm1aq
給你重要的提示好讓你鼓起勇氣脫離險境。”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf0bamLigf
衛威恩以食指輕點安東尼的心臟位置說。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgndcQwgc8p
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwHktSzsJg
安東尼本來就是個不擅措辭的人，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJgyvOCJNX
在口齒伶俐的衛威恩臉前突然一度語塞。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCDQvIQwf4
衛威恩乘著此空檔又接著說。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvyojr6EFY
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRRJmftj7G
“無論如何，你昨晚也經歷過糟透了的事。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsHjk6ELmY
現在要做到就是和我一起去吃早餐，
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxC2qs6mU2
完成今天的工作後休息幾天，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3x489Zq0n
像我一樣調整下步伐再面對人生。
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3Akj24FfP
抱歉，小孩 讓你等了一段時間。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXINf9YR4K
希望我們的交談沒有耽誤你寶貴的時間。 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PiHqdfSMf
衛威恩．威克森”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjtRcOvBID
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs06tMwaHW
衛威恩從偉兹手上接過報紙的同時，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd13YN1MIRF
伸出左手表示友好。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d9gi8FZiM
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQQjFf8Gaw
“我是偉兹．霍華德，當然沒有耽誤呀！”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKAl6PazmX
偉兹緊握衛威恩的左手後準備離去。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCsJIdfahB
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz9J2wOaOZ
“你不...不....和我們一起吃早餐嗎”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qxh89A9Qs
安東尼聽完衛威森的話後，多少也有點釋懷。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTWi0l6p6v
希望和兩位朋友一起吃早餐以放鬆心情。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7klfwYFqvE
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9JfvH8GOd
“下次吧，我還得把單車泊回家。305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CGme6RzQL
再見了衛威恩先生和安東尼，305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsYPWSU9sH
祝你們有美好的一天”305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Shm9MZxu7
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFZkSPHwfE
