據偉兹所知347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoWy9XrDj2
雷爾夫先生是位退役軍人，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l2gRsyVP7
同時也是年紀相近朋友———347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4dDV0tSqZ
帕特里克·普斯特的父親。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9njljZ4n1
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH8IZYarao
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmz17uYM3w
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9utNEt22UO
阿登步道就是條人手鋪設的花崗石路，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIcM65Gvqx
週邊是綠意盎然的森林。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe1GjkiOGu
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ00P9NqnY
白天時基本上就只有松鼠，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBlYWU3cBY
白兔等毫無威脅性的野生動物。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1Ofi3Mn8T
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7QEvwlh2Q
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH3xoWTiSt
但近期傳有野豬在步道附近出沒的傳言，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tv4cR4Wh7
鮑伯農場亦受到野豬滋擾。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaGPak7He0
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0wwdiskzd
帕特里克和偉兹在森林中嬉戲時也受到襲擊，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrldnGfSGS
幸好雷爾夫先生及時來到驅逐了野豬。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmSD2wuunH
兩人才沒受到傷害。
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPypJNnhfH
這次之後，
偉兹便立志要成為像雷爾夫這樣的男子漢。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rPQ1cr5Jo
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9UvYnwnDg
而今天早上，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAwfPcOJ6e
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aIThKCOcT
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrtcOx9IIO
偉兹從車頭的布袋內抽出一紮報紙，
抛向雷爾夫。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97UhXzkmbC
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvCQJDSzIe
“早安，雷爾夫先生！帕特里克的腳沒有大礙吧？” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfVXqQAEc4
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DNLAJPkgY
“原來是偉兹呀，請別嚇我。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFYhhR13ke
帕特里克應該再休息一天就可以和你去玩了，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgekjfIIAep
但請不要再去阿登步道了哦。″ 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mwIAkqElu
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRBO5kABod
雷爾夫的反應似乎不如平時般從容，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz91OLLFqkL
反而像為躲避著什麼而鬼鬼祟祟似的。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrI3BqLFYj
若不是偉兹認識雷爾夫，他定必會被當成小偷。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnRuT2hQIP
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡascaJD07xf
“我知道了！”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUlNw5JG4A
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHSam9iMUt
雷爾夫接下報紙後，背後的家門緩緩張開，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMo4zTSQPL
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWczyLOE1r
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOPyHmcm9g
雷爾夫沒有馬上轉身，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNys8tfTyr
在戰鬥開始前至少要讓無辜的偉兹離開。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlT7fetpLm
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxoUjEU91E
“早安！普斯特夫人！”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8cQnJAR9i
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15jGdasHqU
“早安呀偉兹，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO9Wk87YxG
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。”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpp30VrjlE
普斯特夫人回應時雖然臉帶微笑，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUYFwxCPmU
但也讓偉茲感受到微弱的壓迫感。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9SXIwZ5zk
而且這話可能根本不是說給自己聽的。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26BFX9ovme
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4WthaMTVt
“說得也對呢，我差不多要上學了，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWQgDVktPc
得趕去最後一戶，再見兩位.....”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2shiR5iNp
偉兹語氣沒有了剛才的熱情。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0UwRRxJep
普斯特夫婦也笑著揮手回應，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwIheHsUDu
雷爾夫臉上的笑容像是帶著一點哀愁。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWo9aFVq42
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWKXW9MyKh
“親愛的，你不會是剛剛才回到家吧？”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8vq1GYzWO
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWunz5frAz
″當....當....當然不是呀，艾露娜......″347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRPz8l7Yq9
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhvcphXMiT
偉兹沒有再聽下去，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESrWU13wBg
只是在疑惑著雷爾夫先生是不是和安東尼一樣有口吃。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tcH1domQp
很多年後已成人父的他才能稍稍理解雷爾夫的感受。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLH47uzDCp
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc71VWww4in
最後一站，威克森家就在普斯特家對邊。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjrpPyqX2L
偉兹一直對擔任過警察的衛威恩非常感興趣，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwBehOYfMD
衛威恩年幼時曾和家人一度遷出大城市，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEHaSm425s
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4tbmzmo7i
於半年前某件有關鮑伯農場的案件後。 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kym64ke9v
心灰意冷的衛威恩交出警章和配槍，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpRAPJ8DVm
獨自回到諾谷湖鎮居住。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaXFeH40IZ
但奇怪的是偉兹從沒見過衛威恩本人。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1BVphhS55
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHbZ1O7dw9
比起流傳著奇怪傳言的雷爾夫，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0Htcg4Oz7
衛威恩在鎮上的風評確實不俗，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcm6H01baF
市集的商店老闆都欣賞他爽快和正直。
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32ME3vN9Sm
留在和睦的鎮上是種浪費，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvpRrOhMTy
他應該回到大城市繼續撲滅罪惡，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zQ7ojzJSL
成為守護市民的警察才對。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDmY6vw212
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHVz1zU5rC
偉兹來到威克森家前，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaN0EO16iO
而門前有一位偉兹非常熟識的訪客在和衛威恩交談。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIsuWg98rS
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6mDmJWUzh
這是最後一站，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRbLdNLMTB
偉兹把單車停泊在道路旁，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcF7OIn7mQ
他不用拋的派送方式，下車親手遞給衛威恩。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41Ou0vKSuY
藉此一窺洛城警署三級警探的風采。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzR3iUX73U
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed5wWEksF3
“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。
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTw4KfxxRH
貨車進退兩難時，我就出現了？”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG6lkPamc7
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR8AmRAKcW
″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″ 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oFIp66fFc
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXEbMwBIiO
“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。”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws2Ru9KSEm
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PIKc067T6
“但我...沒....有犯罪....” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXksbeBxWm
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVrf5vibbE
“我當然知道了朋友，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPhsNrhWm8
但我雖然很強壯也不可能徒手搬起重至上噸的樹木吧？”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdnCVAUDx2
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCBVJdrpfK
“好像有...道...理” 安東尼看向衛威恩的雙臂說道。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYsV1a8wa2
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH6Bs3KxlH
“可能你只是太累了，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYsAj9F8oE
我昨晚在家睡了一整晚，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d3Y2BWQMU
直至你的拍門聲弄醒我。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWIKdtGvaN
所以又怎可能出現在你眼前呢？”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNMeqzU8qR
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD9AYpSwp1
“抱.....歉”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN8zQLgcFB
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBrHh8sh0v
“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。
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0I2k1NWGG
可能你真的遇上樹木倒塌意外，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIYEMUjMze
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。” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW0o5vsAGd
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBYsU1FHyw
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。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fx6eMbNHk
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzKqyj3CCo
“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，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5VwlmtoE1
給你重要的提示好讓你鼓起勇氣脫離險境。”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w1zqvhsgW
衛威恩以食指輕點安東尼的心臟位置說。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4JClGX9Y8
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD51hX2cAZ
安東尼本來就是個不擅措辭的人，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNBTYPZzHB
在口齒伶俐的衛威恩臉前突然一度語塞。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpmkLB8jhz
衛威恩乘著此空檔又接著說。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KpJyJKQCe
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23amdWmQ1y
“無論如何，你昨晚也經歷過糟透了的事。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VhmskPzmg
現在要做到就是和我一起去吃早餐，
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlhVlLtB3X
完成今天的工作後休息幾天，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn0SQULO6J
像我一樣調整下步伐再面對人生。
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9goJOywwyn
抱歉，小孩 讓你等了一段時間。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMllZD7jZo
希望我們的交談沒有耽誤你寶貴的時間。 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2RvZ34suE
衛威恩．威克森”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEphfx9tQw
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegPWKEdQWy
衛威恩從偉兹手上接過報紙的同時，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj6AlrQBTU
伸出左手表示友好。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr9RQpx5HC
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkFT2SHMYa
“我是偉兹．霍華德，當然沒有耽誤呀！”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DWx5xKtzp
偉兹緊握衛威恩的左手後準備離去。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cfJwuXRJz
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38oL1TLgoe
“你不...不....和我們一起吃早餐嗎”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz6ICr9LJd
安東尼聽完衛威森的話後，多少也有點釋懷。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KmBXmgNQn
希望和兩位朋友一起吃早餐以放鬆心情。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlSZE4Om1g
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRnKbXlXEA
“下次吧，我還得把單車泊回家。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyQhUNuram
再見了衛威恩先生和安東尼，347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftVvkAtq1u
祝你們有美好的一天”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFzfLUV1Ej
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdvff2g3Iv
“再見”兩人異口同聲向衛兹道別。347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqKLm14a49
