據偉兹所知314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt03CiVFMC
雷爾夫先生是位退役軍人，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZONenr3vZM
同時也是年紀相近朋友———314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXhYI3QssH
帕特里克·普斯特的父親。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj8q5goy8E
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuIH456gzM
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxACSjgvBq
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqDnS46usJ
阿登步道就是條人手鋪設的花崗石路，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPKoAB8a3n
週邊是綠意盎然的森林。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ5Z9tWTPF
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjqnBfkQWv
白天時基本上就只有松鼠，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilxkkPafIU
白兔等毫無威脅性的野生動物。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyokH5v7kYY
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelsI6ymZhC
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawB3isjqaS
但近期傳有野豬在步道附近出沒的傳言，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RKPehHk0P
鮑伯農場亦受到野豬滋擾。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLikYv5dQh
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84wl4EN8OO
帕特里克和偉兹在森林中嬉戲時也受到襲擊，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftOKZ5w539
幸好雷爾夫先生及時來到驅逐了野豬。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaFcgGhlwq
兩人才沒受到傷害。
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1bpAju6Yq
這次之後，
偉兹便立志要成為像雷爾夫這樣的男子漢。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Btifjdig
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftoTUdd5IP
而今天早上，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolf3BlII9k
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZR0VIMmwa
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bPIjOXAXc
偉兹從車頭的布袋內抽出一紮報紙，
抛向雷爾夫。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DeOfiBXLQ
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2kr87vOIZ
“早安，雷爾夫先生！帕特里克的腳沒有大礙吧？” 314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqwRhUICv7
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh7NVdFvA3
“原來是偉兹呀，請別嚇我。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bllX4c5F1
帕特里克應該再休息一天就可以和你去玩了，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDDV54fJ7v
但請不要再去阿登步道了哦。″ 314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn17oyixksr
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3t3twqazB
雷爾夫的反應似乎不如平時般從容，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlpciOHvjm
反而像為躲避著什麼而鬼鬼祟祟似的。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxZWjoClhI
若不是偉兹認識雷爾夫，他定必會被當成小偷。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYnKBBHOaO
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91NMZdbdW3
“我知道了！”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQbuKmgQ5E
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ6za5ny7l
雷爾夫接下報紙後，背後的家門緩緩張開，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VJxMxE6uy
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXXdHLeHSW
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV4dNava4u
雷爾夫沒有馬上轉身，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM8aBJTGgm
在戰鬥開始前至少要讓無辜的偉兹離開。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5EiLLV7UU
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICRDIo9Dqy
“早安！普斯特夫人！”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFL95Zg7NB
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBOGYukNs3
“早安呀偉兹，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zk0NzDGZi
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。”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyTqukjq2K
普斯特夫人回應時雖然臉帶微笑，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7U7egYz5Z
但也讓偉茲感受到微弱的壓迫感。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUE3zoOgXp
而且這話可能根本不是說給自己聽的。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mpkMksw1n
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWCSk34dag
“說得也對呢，我差不多要上學了，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPSmHSvEtc
得趕去最後一戶，再見兩位.....”
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5xaaJIhWv
偉兹語氣沒有了剛才的熱情。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22FESkSXLp
普斯特夫婦也笑著揮手回應，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GVn7AzQgM
雷爾夫臉上的笑容像是帶著一點哀愁。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8wGBRMw1R
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqk7sLSvWM
“親愛的，你不會是剛剛才回到家吧？”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe0BacMLMT
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTN669A3jU
″當....當....當然不是呀，艾露娜......″314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUykn9Gp5F
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcJ6NRyiH8
偉兹沒有再聽下去，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJhlnUxQjM
只是在疑惑著雷爾夫先生是不是和安東尼一樣有口吃。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYj0rSSZ9f
很多年後已成人父的他才能稍稍理解雷爾夫的感受。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jXbVF874H
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN484uU1KtW
最後一站，威克森家就在普斯特家對邊。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBGERHHZbU
偉兹一直對擔任過警察的衛威恩非常感興趣，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y5fTDe4oU
衛威恩年幼時曾和家人一度遷出大城市，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFCfCZmP6w
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96no9ai3uj
於半年前某件有關鮑伯農場的案件後。 314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdhkzxOzKG
心灰意冷的衛威恩交出警章和配槍，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngEL0ZBZYU
獨自回到諾谷湖鎮居住。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgRNUg3gbb
但奇怪的是偉兹從沒見過衛威恩本人。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadnUliKvpl
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNMewmeIOo
比起流傳著奇怪傳言的雷爾夫，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JGI5UPoZW
衛威恩在鎮上的風評確實不俗，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeVynUvGxV
市集的商店老闆都欣賞他爽快和正直。
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBQ3ZFrlFl
留在和睦的鎮上是種浪費，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4aLXoTSb3
他應該回到大城市繼續撲滅罪惡，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Lp9D4DJBj
成為守護市民的警察才對。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ps97Xtuwe
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXgfgVc7Rh
偉兹來到威克森家前，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeDPoxGoSM
而門前有一位偉兹非常熟識的訪客在和衛威恩交談。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtXYwbP3fU
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWspnxT69jv
這是最後一站，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmhHax7lYI
偉兹把單車停泊在道路旁，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnRNeR2xI1
他不用拋的派送方式，下車親手遞給衛威恩。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwoyCoaXsl
藉此一窺洛城警署三級警探的風采。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPEXuCscRO
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4enJV7FeNv
“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。
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuzGi7iDCz
貨車進退兩難時，我就出現了？”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06ACwyfLFU
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDOundKlyI
″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″ 314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65UTLLzc4b
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SLWiJQ5q3
“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。”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZoMIzycrh
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCRElfK14z
“但我...沒....有犯罪....” 314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vt8FDYjAJ
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcSaDAFRPA
“我當然知道了朋友，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn8D2poPwh
但我雖然很強壯也不可能徒手搬起重至上噸的樹木吧？”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1nCDGt251
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhpuL8AngK
“好像有...道...理” 安東尼看向衛威恩的雙臂說道。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIaRsy3zAK
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhV10ReNFu
“可能你只是太累了，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzI2Sl4fwD
我昨晚在家睡了一整晚，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ioVDfRL2k
直至你的拍門聲弄醒我。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGsc9pt5Vc
所以又怎可能出現在你眼前呢？”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS8EPklvZe
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozgB9YPrnH
“抱.....歉”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2bGHyiXDi
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx9DIBmWeR
“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。
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXTqEQHkPB
可能你真的遇上樹木倒塌意外，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6Dz9cWssh
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。” 314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSKvujftGc
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOsdVVgao1
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。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZFNnuF718
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4nJir8Psw
“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，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWhPyAdfYX
給你重要的提示好讓你鼓起勇氣脫離險境。”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV3ePmRj9J
衛威恩以食指輕點安東尼的心臟位置說。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUasUAJTl5r
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwtJG4P6Bb
安東尼本來就是個不擅措辭的人，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmsil8YOvt
在口齒伶俐的衛威恩臉前突然一度語塞。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjQ8zmbzfH
衛威恩乘著此空檔又接著說。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTP2M3KTsn
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49AVnRdBtR
“無論如何，你昨晚也經歷過糟透了的事。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoQ82C2swC
現在要做到就是和我一起去吃早餐，
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WjPztbSev
完成今天的工作後休息幾天，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEZRhlqRFg
像我一樣調整下步伐再面對人生。
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauGpXXkQ9H
抱歉，小孩 讓你等了一段時間。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlya1LOxbeJ
希望我們的交談沒有耽誤你寶貴的時間。 314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcxsMvND2y
衛威恩．威克森”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UV3ZnriSM
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVApJ2YxbM
衛威恩從偉兹手上接過報紙的同時，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7Qzf6mkrI
伸出左手表示友好。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLLyzP1Bj5
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4RTP9lGwF
“我是偉兹．霍華德，當然沒有耽誤呀！”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZCOtyyKyL
偉兹緊握衛威恩的左手後準備離去。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT0pg646bO
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox5nZ3DgSy
“你不...不....和我們一起吃早餐嗎”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tGbvFQVaE
安東尼聽完衛威森的話後，多少也有點釋懷。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r0nOkaJpy
希望和兩位朋友一起吃早餐以放鬆心情。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QAUX5BBf3
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf2grIwoVY
“下次吧，我還得把單車泊回家。314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30hYYZ8f1W
再見了衛威恩先生和安東尼，314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu65Lznl6VG
祝你們有美好的一天”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU5NsFoDGU
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKLGnfdvlV
