據偉兹所知310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauSIa649Wj
雷爾夫先生是位退役軍人，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey120506lN
同時也是年紀相近朋友———310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0bmgv5pMP
帕特里克·普斯特的父親。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxkT9cAbpE
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwat1sGNdz2
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXtqLEKwL6
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdCnWigdxT
阿登步道就是條人手鋪設的花崗石路，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlIw1ZAaXi
週邊是綠意盎然的森林。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJsH0pSDUB
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ274ku1d6De
白天時基本上就只有松鼠，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJs1fJYVsc
白兔等毫無威脅性的野生動物。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON2GOcy1hr
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMoA7CNUBN
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U5ims3snr
但近期傳有野豬在步道附近出沒的傳言，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjHAsAbpPE
鮑伯農場亦受到野豬滋擾。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDglzLBdK2
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObUUGXhqjx
帕特里克和偉兹在森林中嬉戲時也受到襲擊，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeRca5mCWQ
幸好雷爾夫先生及時來到驅逐了野豬。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6kudF5v21
兩人才沒受到傷害。
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gIDpEr6y7
這次之後，
偉兹便立志要成為像雷爾夫這樣的男子漢。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXFDwZPGtz
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1G803LZSI
而今天早上，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnGv6xGFf1
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOnaQQ6G8u
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaD7RQSWb3
偉兹從車頭的布袋內抽出一紮報紙，
抛向雷爾夫。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqrDLexPoi
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4YgAYsUZb
“早安，雷爾夫先生！帕特里克的腳沒有大礙吧？” 310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ce76M5Yz
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjUKOn944k
“原來是偉兹呀，請別嚇我。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp0Oamw8YP
帕特里克應該再休息一天就可以和你去玩了，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcPzoECiyT
但請不要再去阿登步道了哦。″ 310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O5kLiXxsG
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrReQmwVtm
雷爾夫的反應似乎不如平時般從容，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOfQRHVnGJ
反而像為躲避著什麼而鬼鬼祟祟似的。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUDE4qTY0l
若不是偉兹認識雷爾夫，他定必會被當成小偷。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4sH6LdsA0
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUrDSQWCfa
“我知道了！”310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTpbyLWyHE
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqhgrfWm5o
雷爾夫接下報紙後，背後的家門緩緩張開，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltsNxfW0oo
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEnzPvrkkZ
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuQ1Aw39M0
雷爾夫沒有馬上轉身，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKF5y7xidt
在戰鬥開始前至少要讓無辜的偉兹離開。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqo7VzYs8a
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26CYMIRPzM
“早安！普斯特夫人！”310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yQWoWAvNy
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJxrAYJGFq
“早安呀偉兹，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLeNFaCpff
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。”310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wxuyDXmMx
普斯特夫人回應時雖然臉帶微笑，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mVTFqxL5j
但也讓偉茲感受到微弱的壓迫感。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnv87yaka8
而且這話可能根本不是說給自己聽的。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXqOyCJ44i
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEWnqQf0cC
“說得也對呢，我差不多要上學了，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HpDJWpcLV
得趕去最後一戶，再見兩位.....”
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkc0iEI2ZY
偉兹語氣沒有了剛才的熱情。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMV5qxKY18
普斯特夫婦也笑著揮手回應，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYORMuuM0Oy
雷爾夫臉上的笑容像是帶著一點哀愁。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LHI6kCPso
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG3vrCRD7Y
“親愛的，你不會是剛剛才回到家吧？”310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud1vGHvoTh
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ck4baexZI
″當....當....當然不是呀，艾露娜......″310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddxNGWHe9t
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZowBRPxtL
偉兹沒有再聽下去，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWepYPGZJ8
只是在疑惑著雷爾夫先生是不是和安東尼一樣有口吃。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzpH5sidB5
很多年後已成人父的他才能稍稍理解雷爾夫的感受。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Qd2pgOkY
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XdhEh26uI
最後一站，威克森家就在普斯特家對邊。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa13hnaATAO
偉兹一直對擔任過警察的衛威恩非常感興趣，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQuxrJhmNp
衛威恩年幼時曾和家人一度遷出大城市，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa0FF3wmUn
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyGi0tNAoH
於半年前某件有關鮑伯農場的案件後。 310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGKEqI7N1x
心灰意冷的衛威恩交出警章和配槍，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyJYtJRC0v
獨自回到諾谷湖鎮居住。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg99nDtpvCf
但奇怪的是偉兹從沒見過衛威恩本人。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DxuOk9DHv
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGhhevkW8I
比起流傳著奇怪傳言的雷爾夫，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEjEbHdKGL
衛威恩在鎮上的風評確實不俗，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNterzhV67
市集的商店老闆都欣賞他爽快和正直。
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt04AxyjfGE
留在和睦的鎮上是種浪費，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS0viL3iuA
他應該回到大城市繼續撲滅罪惡，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7k6bBxyKv
成為守護市民的警察才對。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3ARH88559
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6As5Sxi65
偉兹來到威克森家前，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42e0aOc2uE
而門前有一位偉兹非常熟識的訪客在和衛威恩交談。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhilU0KeR7
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fXYsGN5Ml
這是最後一站，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWYN4DGV0P
偉兹把單車停泊在道路旁，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOPgZ7fYy1
他不用拋的派送方式，下車親手遞給衛威恩。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdNG8cRFme
藉此一窺洛城警署三級警探的風采。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6B7IsqONL
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6wwTdpsXe
“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。
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdtKSd9kHt
貨車進退兩難時，我就出現了？”310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBnnm1VOpV
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqnc400fIF
″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″ 310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTquKwAQ7sy
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ciq47GLDb
“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。”310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM4Q2PRV6V
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASmpkh5ABg
“但我...沒....有犯罪....” 310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7rhJQZC4l
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEvJeKKmwe
“我當然知道了朋友，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalpWoBeNv6
但我雖然很強壯也不可能徒手搬起重至上噸的樹木吧？”310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP8xb7YyrL
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMhkqZMT33
“好像有...道...理” 安東尼看向衛威恩的雙臂說道。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxJWO7jQVn
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9KR3sXTto
“可能你只是太累了，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlFCEhniqM
我昨晚在家睡了一整晚，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8EqFa8r9Z
直至你的拍門聲弄醒我。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyxVVLajVE
所以又怎可能出現在你眼前呢？”310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiaeAx7UeB
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXmmoPaLaU
“抱.....歉”310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vp1uMBsia
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1FQ8xPpjL
“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。
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfyhX1rHPd
可能你真的遇上樹木倒塌意外，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSu69tnYya
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。” 310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b6SCdzvnF
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZwU57gZRy
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQYoCNlA10
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCLCgDsOpK
“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，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ9EhbqIHO
給你重要的提示好讓你鼓起勇氣脫離險境。”310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIhfyBvEWM
衛威恩以食指輕點安東尼的心臟位置說。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0nt66zAIg
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEngJewxycD
安東尼本來就是個不擅措辭的人，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JvUmcS27S
在口齒伶俐的衛威恩臉前突然一度語塞。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOKxTohmHm
衛威恩乘著此空檔又接著說。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TwP9utHBE
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQyxC8TcMP
“無論如何，你昨晚也經歷過糟透了的事。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGQw4ZcYvT
現在要做到就是和我一起去吃早餐，
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrduqFBXB8
完成今天的工作後休息幾天，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mxipOTbBg
像我一樣調整下步伐再面對人生。
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3JADO5nGB
抱歉，小孩 讓你等了一段時間。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtYjOCTfWl
希望我們的交談沒有耽誤你寶貴的時間。 310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdpNHi38Gt
衛威恩．威克森”310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MUExgAfXH
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcE3bzWr7M
衛威恩從偉兹手上接過報紙的同時，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sT7DOh24Z
伸出左手表示友好。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8mDu0O7oR
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQQPdZBVXD
“我是偉兹．霍華德，當然沒有耽誤呀！”310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TzQaUIAmL
偉兹緊握衛威恩的左手後準備離去。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV5syqjclh
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf02Wtm58d
“你不...不....和我們一起吃早餐嗎”310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgvRhQr5Bg
安東尼聽完衛威森的話後，多少也有點釋懷。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZWw4O8Sdu
希望和兩位朋友一起吃早餐以放鬆心情。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMovoLuA4B
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEcvrRvJ68
“下次吧，我還得把單車泊回家。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ472WvwL4nZ
再見了衛威恩先生和安東尼，310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEnutHfqrC
祝你們有美好的一天”310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtujs4Y82qI
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzMmp794Zx
