據偉兹所知309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEFpapkWAa
雷爾夫先生是位退役軍人，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpCAELl0w4
同時也是年紀相近朋友———309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2RqHxl4jM
帕特里克·普斯特的父親。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6CSPxYjkh
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtnHZCpy9B
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwwaChJ4DS
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq00HmskMR
阿登步道就是條人手鋪設的花崗石路，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7dht11OmG
週邊是綠意盎然的森林。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEWd2wn5Tr
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQpTJjIE9m
白天時基本上就只有松鼠，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgmeU7v7Oe
白兔等毫無威脅性的野生動物。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG15DSZvCd
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PA6Iq7iXS
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS45REUwRQ
但近期傳有野豬在步道附近出沒的傳言，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK1kP0zQyp
鮑伯農場亦受到野豬滋擾。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dt4sMY4tf
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S6ypRApJd
帕特里克和偉兹在森林中嬉戲時也受到襲擊，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBZWT85GLI
幸好雷爾夫先生及時來到驅逐了野豬。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGAiI1U4rZ
兩人才沒受到傷害。
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAITeK4OMk
這次之後，
偉兹便立志要成為像雷爾夫這樣的男子漢。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvgulC1F4R
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dz2R7LTMu
而今天早上，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphcel6lvHo
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQwIWOVG3m
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvgm7zb4Xq
偉兹從車頭的布袋內抽出一紮報紙，
抛向雷爾夫。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhlmShHBxV
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNiPt8DT8e
“早安，雷爾夫先生！帕特里克的腳沒有大礙吧？” 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoGzLKeWiT
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx9nY4rJlF
“原來是偉兹呀，請別嚇我。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHOqAMeEhC
帕特里克應該再休息一天就可以和你去玩了，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2cKdMtLwZ
但請不要再去阿登步道了哦。″ 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOZghxoYTf
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU1DUlmLrL
雷爾夫的反應似乎不如平時般從容，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHOImDAYqb
反而像為躲避著什麼而鬼鬼祟祟似的。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB4WbTsnpD
若不是偉兹認識雷爾夫，他定必會被當成小偷。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vPqU4dUVE
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNVgk3Oadl
“我知道了！”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOUHgKa57m
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7826pV3gp
雷爾夫接下報紙後，背後的家門緩緩張開，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9KcgBmXfb
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM5aLJrzWJ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUvaggDPrr
雷爾夫沒有馬上轉身，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP9UfBsZUl
在戰鬥開始前至少要讓無辜的偉兹離開。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmixEz4uOB
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtUgFn736V
“早安！普斯特夫人！”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiht9G0jTPR
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPt7LeOMSM
“早安呀偉兹，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57INBWDSD6
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。”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeDCd9jxGk
普斯特夫人回應時雖然臉帶微笑，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoiOAyYei0
但也讓偉茲感受到微弱的壓迫感。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOvpLRnwax
而且這話可能根本不是說給自己聽的。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkGsBKPCJn
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypfVe9Cx6F
“說得也對呢，我差不多要上學了，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfeaNDUCJR
得趕去最後一戶，再見兩位.....”
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ545nQlF0oQ
偉兹語氣沒有了剛才的熱情。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmA4E0D3CC
普斯特夫婦也笑著揮手回應，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa8NlW3dTm
雷爾夫臉上的笑容像是帶著一點哀愁。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMN4Z5u768
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu6KD2bWGB
“親愛的，你不會是剛剛才回到家吧？”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Kulelvtr
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIgF7uxUtm
″當....當....當然不是呀，艾露娜......″309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLdCviEso6
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5TcI2CUOT
偉兹沒有再聽下去，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IwoVbl4sA
只是在疑惑著雷爾夫先生是不是和安東尼一樣有口吃。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlf47Isf67
很多年後已成人父的他才能稍稍理解雷爾夫的感受。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenkGWKX7rB
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN4DTURtQ1
最後一站，威克森家就在普斯特家對邊。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDTybPrOZp
偉兹一直對擔任過警察的衛威恩非常感興趣，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2sveoUj6X
衛威恩年幼時曾和家人一度遷出大城市，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquiC2wCe4k
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrnj4W8oAj
於半年前某件有關鮑伯農場的案件後。 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm45kca0bVU
心灰意冷的衛威恩交出警章和配槍，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD36s2WU4Zu
獨自回到諾谷湖鎮居住。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSnTUze7QY
但奇怪的是偉兹從沒見過衛威恩本人。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RApxmjenV
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6KroO4kFY
比起流傳著奇怪傳言的雷爾夫，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECDUo9lQPo
衛威恩在鎮上的風評確實不俗，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fFj88oAUM
市集的商店老闆都欣賞他爽快和正直。
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxqLulCvn9
留在和睦的鎮上是種浪費，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4dczTCQGi
他應該回到大城市繼續撲滅罪惡，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b8Xi8lhMt
成為守護市民的警察才對。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j1TeEh3wq
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZcBTM3ljX
偉兹來到威克森家前，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlaqgzMlbF
而門前有一位偉兹非常熟識的訪客在和衛威恩交談。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RQWdcN80r
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2U6OGuK5r
這是最後一站，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIKyjxlDbp
偉兹把單車停泊在道路旁，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhjEEwGDh4
他不用拋的派送方式，下車親手遞給衛威恩。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNs8Z4PqwX
藉此一窺洛城警署三級警探的風采。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdoaiTuabR
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAVosdymbf
“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。
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvgpvMbvTR
貨車進退兩難時，我就出現了？”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXAVvc8pRH
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXW3iWV4So
″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″ 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMlM2c6z8R
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghipRsjuIN
“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。”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1pWAD23Db
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcohwjy083
“但我...沒....有犯罪....” 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWHnzwv3BG
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbttViYXpb
“我當然知道了朋友，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvXHKyzCiy
但我雖然很強壯也不可能徒手搬起重至上噸的樹木吧？”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLwWtnT5Sk
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsb35KU1z6
“好像有...道...理” 安東尼看向衛威恩的雙臂說道。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUrqZqwTI0
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0GAzp9GIM
“可能你只是太累了，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8vqfI06cq
我昨晚在家睡了一整晚，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHPjSDXpCA
直至你的拍門聲弄醒我。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8khwIslDAe
所以又怎可能出現在你眼前呢？”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntneRBQEX7
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9LuRyptSn
“抱.....歉”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbZD1SdxVS
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDAKnjPUKc
“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。
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHxgLct1dx
可能你真的遇上樹木倒塌意外，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMaZhkBEak
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。” 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi3zdVVYMV
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnB3clpO8M
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76vapTkDsf
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6O1rpVB1y
“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，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB15elDSKq
給你重要的提示好讓你鼓起勇氣脫離險境。”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT8Z4GDI9A
衛威恩以食指輕點安東尼的心臟位置說。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYzXAobzqU
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAjooxEEFO
安東尼本來就是個不擅措辭的人，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdtuBEUxET
在口齒伶俐的衛威恩臉前突然一度語塞。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9IWwAcepj
衛威恩乘著此空檔又接著說。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIhdczBgGF
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO23RU6CAzv
“無論如何，你昨晚也經歷過糟透了的事。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBFmqqb5YM
現在要做到就是和我一起去吃早餐，
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5VrNakqLb
完成今天的工作後休息幾天，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4iAXHMFJ1
像我一樣調整下步伐再面對人生。
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK26ZUersX
抱歉，小孩 讓你等了一段時間。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcqKbOBDMH
希望我們的交談沒有耽誤你寶貴的時間。 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3wMFCBn1N
衛威恩．威克森”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFhacEPyEQ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76jzudposw
衛威恩從偉兹手上接過報紙的同時，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xnKCWC93d
伸出左手表示友好。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVcXqLLJBf
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQrCHbnncD
“我是偉兹．霍華德，當然沒有耽誤呀！”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a0U9a6U7x
偉兹緊握衛威恩的左手後準備離去。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CnoyJvBmH
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuKNzCTZFp
“你不...不....和我們一起吃早餐嗎”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBHupbpjDH
安東尼聽完衛威森的話後，多少也有點釋懷。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytU6YulcOD
希望和兩位朋友一起吃早餐以放鬆心情。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfimMhZGys
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhlw4kufdA
“下次吧，我還得把單車泊回家。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsG4Ck3Hnh
再見了衛威恩先生和安東尼，309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W5IZalQxl
祝你們有美好的一天”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rYI3fbgSS
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn4hiAniFC
“再見”兩人異口同聲向衛兹道別。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X9hryWRXT
