據偉兹所知272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVDy2zfTut
雷爾夫先生是位退役軍人，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwulKMfeKm
同時也是年紀相近朋友———272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKegKe90BQ
帕特里克·普斯特的父親。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0ZyTSpWvV
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueWEHT6LcA
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。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUyyH5uCI8
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUqNsvDz6v
阿登步道就是條人手鋪設的花崗石路，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iLbV7XICf
週邊是綠意盎然的森林。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcfDgKZhsB
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbiXFDIzkM
白天時基本上就只有松鼠，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVknHPRQ2j
白兔等毫無威脅性的野生動物。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexuc2xLYGd
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。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CkiXfLW20
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf8ZHgPXUN
但近期傳有野豬在步道附近出沒的傳言，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PcvVdYYcn
鮑伯農場亦受到野豬滋擾。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUVou5TiJg
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4M1Pdqdba
帕特里克和偉兹在森林中嬉戲時也受到襲擊，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegi3yZMnLt
幸好雷爾夫先生及時來到驅逐了野豬。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXnmvb7WmG
兩人才沒受到傷害。
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEhQJWrKPA
這次之後，
偉兹便立志要成為像雷爾夫這樣的男子漢。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LNUC1ZHjr
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEqw0Qb46M
而今天早上，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrD9UF0YVf
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。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskYRUt1wFr
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HxZGDDq3W
偉兹從車頭的布袋內抽出一紮報紙，
抛向雷爾夫。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4UWD9RLse
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwhe2AraiE
“早安，雷爾夫先生！帕特里克的腳沒有大礙吧？” 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlap07USmz5
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDTeURDWVD
“原來是偉兹呀，請別嚇我。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6K7sZ33PH
帕特里克應該再休息一天就可以和你去玩了，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R65k7Bmue
但請不要再去阿登步道了哦。″ 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb9d8bA48W
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5Px7ny4fW
雷爾夫的反應似乎不如平時般從容，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDINQp3Vum
反而像為躲避著什麼而鬼鬼祟祟似的。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCAGMpktqd
若不是偉兹認識雷爾夫，他定必會被當成小偷。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzjwmAmoOw
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFiiH2U5Np
“我知道了！”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWFMXRtgwg
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPAfuLQVkG
雷爾夫接下報紙後，背後的家門緩緩張開，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVDLWvNpih
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。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YK0l7xrce
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs079uTaaov
雷爾夫沒有馬上轉身，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SMiO3otWi
在戰鬥開始前至少要讓無辜的偉兹離開。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vehrrp38K
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcrjpBy9EH
“早安！普斯特夫人！”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbsxnBbTmL
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjxbZLw8ei
“早安呀偉兹，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VsT3njRWl
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。”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXBxiaUngW
普斯特夫人回應時雖然臉帶微笑，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoBg2YMgj7
但也讓偉茲感受到微弱的壓迫感。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5eWzNhFUB
而且這話可能根本不是說給自己聽的。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G9jmRLKkP
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Os2pj4n0
“說得也對呢，我差不多要上學了，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48vMrFJBRW
得趕去最後一戶，再見兩位.....”
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyrqYdmIjC
偉兹語氣沒有了剛才的熱情。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ050Dpy3I1V
普斯特夫婦也笑著揮手回應，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovtn4edu1Y
雷爾夫臉上的笑容像是帶著一點哀愁。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8BWyHnqnc
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXJMJeXqdo
“親愛的，你不會是剛剛才回到家吧？”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy17CFkGKfg
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBzzGS6fXy
″當....當....當然不是呀，艾露娜......″272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hGjxet2FJ
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIZIaraXgk
偉兹沒有再聽下去，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPJYkCX8w1
只是在疑惑著雷爾夫先生是不是和安東尼一樣有口吃。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJtunXGONC
很多年後已成人父的他才能稍稍理解雷爾夫的感受。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CuWjurerC
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWnowJrxVv
最後一站，威克森家就在普斯特家對邊。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3Wqbk2gny
偉兹一直對擔任過警察的衛威恩非常感興趣，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8fXUltBmn
衛威恩年幼時曾和家人一度遷出大城市，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HeDcfRPz5
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVolvjaQ4F
於半年前某件有關鮑伯農場的案件後。 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKpSEjbMBY
心灰意冷的衛威恩交出警章和配槍，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKBZyKRDL0
獨自回到諾谷湖鎮居住。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUblv6GYAgX
但奇怪的是偉兹從沒見過衛威恩本人。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN3vymxAJw
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMpAgajffx
比起流傳著奇怪傳言的雷爾夫，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bD2D8ZfNp
衛威恩在鎮上的風評確實不俗，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA8DfrXgR4
市集的商店老闆都欣賞他爽快和正直。
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTk4dWiGDE
留在和睦的鎮上是種浪費，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCnrrkZSkY
他應該回到大城市繼續撲滅罪惡，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNymMhMGvFU
成為守護市民的警察才對。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GDx9MfAZz
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NHhgo3zME
偉兹來到威克森家前，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxToEsIEoA
而門前有一位偉兹非常熟識的訪客在和衛威恩交談。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xbyXFhCBl
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJvP9RjQrB
這是最後一站，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk76SF6uXRU
偉兹把單車停泊在道路旁，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qkKNkdlxt
他不用拋的派送方式，下車親手遞給衛威恩。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiL0CMHoVH
藉此一窺洛城警署三級警探的風采。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnaCmR3BUr
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh99s4nm9w9
“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。
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSnT6tIpCw
貨車進退兩難時，我就出現了？”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN6sJ2FLKl
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEkAEQKuC1
″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″ 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQBCPvCjna
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoqcSWc7Do
“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。”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEVjRje9Yb
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN78U3Xjet
“但我...沒....有犯罪....” 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDhkc3JZl9
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzsmv0Z6oE
“我當然知道了朋友，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4UbKZfUNK
但我雖然很強壯也不可能徒手搬起重至上噸的樹木吧？”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExCm0n8m8M
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GjamUVbV3
“好像有...道...理” 安東尼看向衛威恩的雙臂說道。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG0tM8ozLn
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3HgBxatT1
“可能你只是太累了，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5otgTGp0r2
我昨晚在家睡了一整晚，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnojDmnvVsf
直至你的拍門聲弄醒我。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuB0oMc0fK
所以又怎可能出現在你眼前呢？”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPrxypQby9
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUruQgiNLc
“抱.....歉”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOhrOVjDSM
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcihAqZzO4B
“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。
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb9DNdbG1d
可能你真的遇上樹木倒塌意外，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdok5QqdsL
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。” 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsCnGPtdYC
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZDPgjHfJM
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。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q2aq14VhV
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJiS1OY0Jw
“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，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySC2eVAqgo
給你重要的提示好讓你鼓起勇氣脫離險境。”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiiAhWaun2
衛威恩以食指輕點安東尼的心臟位置說。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQykbuILj4
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YDNobmLY2
安東尼本來就是個不擅措辭的人，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH7Ft2UHWI
在口齒伶俐的衛威恩臉前突然一度語塞。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH9UEXu2Mn
衛威恩乘著此空檔又接著說。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5b1riG7LM
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwm9xr1BP7
“無論如何，你昨晚也經歷過糟透了的事。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO6zoxSnMn
現在要做到就是和我一起去吃早餐，
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXPj52O6fn
完成今天的工作後休息幾天，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T5URc18fF
像我一樣調整下步伐再面對人生。
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPaa0FeKMx
抱歉，小孩 讓你等了一段時間。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskWFUPaFwV
希望我們的交談沒有耽誤你寶貴的時間。 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUT7hZPPpT
衛威恩．威克森”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfE0rEr0k9
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RSzeNZJQ9
衛威恩從偉兹手上接過報紙的同時，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyDkBvFU6Z
伸出左手表示友好。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbHmowJsot
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokNjqVxLzf
“我是偉兹．霍華德，當然沒有耽誤呀！”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl8uhM10TC
偉兹緊握衛威恩的左手後準備離去。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbfuhCUthh
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2T01XAniw
“你不...不....和我們一起吃早餐嗎”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdOZxD8Pe1
安東尼聽完衛威森的話後，多少也有點釋懷。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCJ73bQgB8
希望和兩位朋友一起吃早餐以放鬆心情。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6SmN2I4hf
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVmbGhD9au
“下次吧，我還得把單車泊回家。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtA6aiDb7S
再見了衛威恩先生和安東尼，272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46xFmb3UPC
祝你們有美好的一天”272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gz4TFGYiO
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uibsx1GWY
“再見”兩人異口同聲向衛兹道別。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAzclKGuhS
