據偉兹所知315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQGrHBA7E2
雷爾夫先生是位退役軍人，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RJpP7wmJ3
同時也是年紀相近朋友———315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuwFiGxhXt
帕特里克·普斯特的父親。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gnVkVFCB1
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSXEsdWFiT
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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SbNgBvLSq
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2wPtBQgJW
阿登步道就是條人手鋪設的花崗石路，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eSjD2qCNu
週邊是綠意盎然的森林。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyjGdsfI8X
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHGmJ41mXE
白天時基本上就只有松鼠，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJaupPs0wh
白兔等毫無威脅性的野生動物。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHktftk2jh
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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjPm45a99k
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZkbDLwcp1
但近期傳有野豬在步道附近出沒的傳言，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySqzS4htdr
鮑伯農場亦受到野豬滋擾。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQRF3ktayt
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAalUBrsEw
帕特里克和偉兹在森林中嬉戲時也受到襲擊，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSEeaLxqvF
幸好雷爾夫先生及時來到驅逐了野豬。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBukWgGiJw
兩人才沒受到傷害。
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgasyXoSMNy
這次之後，
偉兹便立志要成為像雷爾夫這樣的男子漢。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WcbWIrLpN
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEVwB3hvPD
而今天早上，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD8M5y2Mmk
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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl754YCb4xA
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ145B6yeZKN
偉兹從車頭的布袋內抽出一紮報紙，
抛向雷爾夫。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet8ZetZDz1
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLLsiINhxG
“早安，雷爾夫先生！帕特里克的腳沒有大礙吧？” 315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMDTSG19dE
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76KQCt850b
“原來是偉兹呀，請別嚇我。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHhNX7KQg3
帕特里克應該再休息一天就可以和你去玩了，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbJGLsSYuF
但請不要再去阿登步道了哦。″ 315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszXbJwttTu
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdezxyooVA
雷爾夫的反應似乎不如平時般從容，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF1kWKbiSD
反而像為躲避著什麼而鬼鬼祟祟似的。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXV4xcmMUx
若不是偉兹認識雷爾夫，他定必會被當成小偷。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k3VVLUvnf
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFqMPiaz2F
“我知道了！”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeYwZ8h101
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFJIlJpINX
雷爾夫接下報紙後，背後的家門緩緩張開，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPSR81DOSY
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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡium1Ad09Hh
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNlUPrGe55
雷爾夫沒有馬上轉身，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6Fi3E8Sd5
在戰鬥開始前至少要讓無辜的偉兹離開。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4MP75JrEU
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9phRveIWe
“早安！普斯特夫人！”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwXYRgnkWW
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEGsebKqyK
“早安呀偉兹，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkVZK2e6o8
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。”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UhslPzFPl
普斯特夫人回應時雖然臉帶微笑，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh151gBug7
但也讓偉茲感受到微弱的壓迫感。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6FlH0K1fb
而且這話可能根本不是說給自己聽的。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfiOHwYRhz
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3vEQxfPNb
“說得也對呢，我差不多要上學了，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN73Ajx4KDw
得趕去最後一戶，再見兩位.....”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndzbdi1O2e
偉兹語氣沒有了剛才的熱情。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow7dgs4eL1
普斯特夫婦也笑著揮手回應，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfzf5xkkt5
雷爾夫臉上的笑容像是帶著一點哀愁。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVGVY9UAkL
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFVnRqZ9Ng
“親愛的，你不會是剛剛才回到家吧？”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdvAV4oYqa
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntoTjMWxmp
″當....當....當然不是呀，艾露娜......″315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBpoCgLJuL
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqRuTV4HnS
偉兹沒有再聽下去，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fIpRjIWka
只是在疑惑著雷爾夫先生是不是和安東尼一樣有口吃。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZlzfph7JU
很多年後已成人父的他才能稍稍理解雷爾夫的感受。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8ssiOzu2W
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQsm1mpe7m
最後一站，威克森家就在普斯特家對邊。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbVZYQYBiH
偉兹一直對擔任過警察的衛威恩非常感興趣，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgtvhJneU4
衛威恩年幼時曾和家人一度遷出大城市，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm68ubtGlT
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMxnTta1zk
於半年前某件有關鮑伯農場的案件後。 315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUjmP6vc0u
心灰意冷的衛威恩交出警章和配槍，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs66DEZpADy
獨自回到諾谷湖鎮居住。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneUd42CUiV
但奇怪的是偉兹從沒見過衛威恩本人。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrKZzf5Dyu
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBWMSjevi6
比起流傳著奇怪傳言的雷爾夫，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFaymZ2O1n
衛威恩在鎮上的風評確實不俗，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mhKRhe5O1
市集的商店老闆都欣賞他爽快和正直。
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO105E7HeIS
留在和睦的鎮上是種浪費，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2SoD7WbHe
他應該回到大城市繼續撲滅罪惡，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSFao3rJsk
成為守護市民的警察才對。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ2VFYlfwT
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLcTgqL7ED
偉兹來到威克森家前，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5JEeZwRZC
而門前有一位偉兹非常熟識的訪客在和衛威恩交談。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GhCIWcQ5w
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmPIWVUEVf
這是最後一站，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTxfYJjzJi
偉兹把單車停泊在道路旁，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYnzSNMXSx
他不用拋的派送方式，下車親手遞給衛威恩。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5KYYJyqBX
藉此一窺洛城警署三級警探的風采。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ7Ju97PMU
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsMOJX3yQh
“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。
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7RKf9zPcK
貨車進退兩難時，我就出現了？”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk5ZrVl0QZ
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Vqh2Ggsj
″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″ 315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEwdhbRGTh
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsff6KZyoHw
“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。”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBD0HcSClU
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowC2KpSNBW
“但我...沒....有犯罪....” 315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdtTFP12hA
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUovyiDtbT
“我當然知道了朋友，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXk4WOypC4
但我雖然很強壯也不可能徒手搬起重至上噸的樹木吧？”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihzgMQmDgo
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfMpFt9UsJ
“好像有...道...理” 安東尼看向衛威恩的雙臂說道。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WRhjLgciw
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqOqT8ixRR
“可能你只是太累了，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJkDf7nlKn
我昨晚在家睡了一整晚，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzqtK1WGgW
直至你的拍門聲弄醒我。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kHcEjpVDT
所以又怎可能出現在你眼前呢？”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALIQrYOIfT
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxchXIOCaU9
“抱.....歉”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDftp7QNQS2
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1UX3txsxb
“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。
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1uMa8Or7Y
可能你真的遇上樹木倒塌意外，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnXMl9xPV8
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。” 315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7q2gYWpBF
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5rMA9r9J6
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。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tSeRlAXt4
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtaqQjyqt3
“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，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMk7NMa2LO
給你重要的提示好讓你鼓起勇氣脫離險境。”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PGXYiaUOF
衛威恩以食指輕點安東尼的心臟位置說。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk983h4oRwC
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoz45ebBdn
安東尼本來就是個不擅措辭的人，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP7jW7eVzg
在口齒伶俐的衛威恩臉前突然一度語塞。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW72OGrfg35
衛威恩乘著此空檔又接著說。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04CktkvXpM
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VAhzucVbX
“無論如何，你昨晚也經歷過糟透了的事。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw36s2l8gS
現在要做到就是和我一起去吃早餐，
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgSlIQZOcU
完成今天的工作後休息幾天，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz39UTGq0BF
像我一樣調整下步伐再面對人生。
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlBlPgmh56
抱歉，小孩 讓你等了一段時間。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIHaRF5HQ0
希望我們的交談沒有耽誤你寶貴的時間。 315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yt7eVPZXi
衛威恩．威克森”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbruVSuWgF
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyOUTrtTSe
衛威恩從偉兹手上接過報紙的同時，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7km5GwLeT9
伸出左手表示友好。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQccyePZqS1
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiHBZJQoPa
“我是偉兹．霍華德，當然沒有耽誤呀！”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsys497NdH
偉兹緊握衛威恩的左手後準備離去。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMGFvusAHW
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobLoLiCi4q
“你不...不....和我們一起吃早餐嗎”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz0rZrRzKr
安東尼聽完衛威森的話後，多少也有點釋懷。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LpSeIoMQL
希望和兩位朋友一起吃早餐以放鬆心情。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPRxU2mUI8
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wfoMaSSHL
“下次吧，我還得把單車泊回家。315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT87OkRB0Kp
再見了衛威恩先生和安東尼，315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnYgFUtDjj
祝你們有美好的一天”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc0E47N6W1
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj39aPiJpPH
