據偉兹所知313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4TU4QuQ41
雷爾夫先生是位退役軍人，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dTZxtkSaW
同時也是年紀相近朋友———313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYNlNO6Tjq
帕特里克·普斯特的父親。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAabcLxFalG
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIvAt0OhNV
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIpKm4u3O9
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z6h0SyIkx
阿登步道就是條人手鋪設的花崗石路，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxsxcv925R
週邊是綠意盎然的森林。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZwXDKWgrE
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU3ixbRDAT
白天時基本上就只有松鼠，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLftscNuGg
白兔等毫無威脅性的野生動物。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRBn1YFpbe
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ3ICD59Wk
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYfpvb7icv
但近期傳有野豬在步道附近出沒的傳言，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGuZncCMej
鮑伯農場亦受到野豬滋擾。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ163YtksmsX
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ22h9GjqJ
帕特里克和偉兹在森林中嬉戲時也受到襲擊，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bIxE1vgmI
幸好雷爾夫先生及時來到驅逐了野豬。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRJGdTnlot
兩人才沒受到傷害。
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhyrvtuPWG
這次之後，
偉兹便立志要成為像雷爾夫這樣的男子漢。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHN9IPUKct
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxvl2sUlOj
而今天早上，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwoK4tNPSy
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlduEWHiD1
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwXZesS5ua
偉兹從車頭的布袋內抽出一紮報紙，
抛向雷爾夫。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP4X2QKMpx
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU1lN8XlFU
“早安，雷爾夫先生！帕特里克的腳沒有大礙吧？” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPvloKFXTv
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9SxOmkLus
“原來是偉兹呀，請別嚇我。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCuNQArPnh
帕特里克應該再休息一天就可以和你去玩了，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh7vjtiPYO
但請不要再去阿登步道了哦。″ 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofD6NeZ6ZX
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2pqcSJMtS
雷爾夫的反應似乎不如平時般從容，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jtHpk8D8v
反而像為躲避著什麼而鬼鬼祟祟似的。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL1SmsmzG5
若不是偉兹認識雷爾夫，他定必會被當成小偷。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNHwdXykoR
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXR27Tiloz
“我知道了！”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPPuu7IQdh
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t7alRdJKd
雷爾夫接下報紙後，背後的家門緩緩張開，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CHq3YJtU9
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu4FL2YOqR
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoWQZDOmEG
雷爾夫沒有馬上轉身，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKEFarCdvZ
在戰鬥開始前至少要讓無辜的偉兹離開。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y8LC6vnOx
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvy6SX70Fd
“早安！普斯特夫人！”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoFyyYpzdo
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeBLizepdZ
“早安呀偉兹，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevzjI9Am3R
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。”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yGLZBFPgt
普斯特夫人回應時雖然臉帶微笑，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvgsw4mEgb
但也讓偉茲感受到微弱的壓迫感。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipeBjO78zn
而且這話可能根本不是說給自己聽的。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsFpBsIJL5
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDaLe5y7rt
“說得也對呢，我差不多要上學了，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYGeeHNhWu
得趕去最後一戶，再見兩位.....”
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsOxnPnnGY
偉兹語氣沒有了剛才的熱情。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdwdRn7j4b
普斯特夫婦也笑著揮手回應，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MHecPd7JR
雷爾夫臉上的笑容像是帶著一點哀愁。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwxuzvDVrT
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5s3AvHj2g
“親愛的，你不會是剛剛才回到家吧？”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTbHtibHrH
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaXCJehsT6
″當....當....當然不是呀，艾露娜......″313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZymG18OpMx
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYeH1xVgWQ
偉兹沒有再聽下去，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqMBoikj3x
只是在疑惑著雷爾夫先生是不是和安東尼一樣有口吃。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq9p9TXrTi
很多年後已成人父的他才能稍稍理解雷爾夫的感受。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc40fdOuHKs
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSYXaGQxqd
最後一站，威克森家就在普斯特家對邊。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YF369w2aD
偉兹一直對擔任過警察的衛威恩非常感興趣，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JCx4gakxB
衛威恩年幼時曾和家人一度遷出大城市，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5AIgGJAFg
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecwcP0AML0
於半年前某件有關鮑伯農場的案件後。 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOpZn3ZHbw
心灰意冷的衛威恩交出警章和配槍，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFeHVmO94l
獨自回到諾谷湖鎮居住。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy81tVbdxvn
但奇怪的是偉兹從沒見過衛威恩本人。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8soe2XvQd
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPexphhCBGC
比起流傳著奇怪傳言的雷爾夫，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV15SF6HVn
衛威恩在鎮上的風評確實不俗，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSzqmaE2pv
市集的商店老闆都欣賞他爽快和正直。
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQlVH9isaq
留在和睦的鎮上是種浪費，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ7Co7dF4y
他應該回到大城市繼續撲滅罪惡，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S1CiWHuC7
成為守護市民的警察才對。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT2VyMj0FZ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZMKQHOMcA
偉兹來到威克森家前，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPErdHA3s0
而門前有一位偉兹非常熟識的訪客在和衛威恩交談。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9oQGLhlf9
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIpVcOeVf3
這是最後一站，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnWeI2rDLJ
偉兹把單車停泊在道路旁，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWjg8JBIhw
他不用拋的派送方式，下車親手遞給衛威恩。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLk24fRGMN
藉此一窺洛城警署三級警探的風采。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEKCuoznAQ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUTGuTZBrw
“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。
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hyuchSBQc
貨車進退兩難時，我就出現了？”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy26xwZQkH
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XeofvCkpY
″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″ 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHUgCTRwuT
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SgT2oNRuh
“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。”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqpVg6jbIE
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHcaK77Wm2
“但我...沒....有犯罪....” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqHnqyBGG3
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjRhFol83Q
“我當然知道了朋友，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6q5tolz3L
但我雖然很強壯也不可能徒手搬起重至上噸的樹木吧？”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0yPLGsW1P
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGplT4YzkO
“好像有...道...理” 安東尼看向衛威恩的雙臂說道。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yN7fFCqKg
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1hIQkFidx
“可能你只是太累了，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t8eP5xWkZ
我昨晚在家睡了一整晚，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ4TuOFmuY
直至你的拍門聲弄醒我。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsrOQLjnws
所以又怎可能出現在你眼前呢？”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8zlQtjg4J
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwadOSXFe0r
“抱.....歉”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwShJQiGwka
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrpVDwTiyj
“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。
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIjJEfxaZY
可能你真的遇上樹木倒塌意外，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPhOg5VGgk
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。” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYSG4yen0w
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSZZaT08LY
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。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMlLBa14FV
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoboRi20Nz
“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，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy2n0622nH
給你重要的提示好讓你鼓起勇氣脫離險境。”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkbtsiItzi
衛威恩以食指輕點安東尼的心臟位置說。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsN8raZFEq
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq2vZEI7Gc
安東尼本來就是個不擅措辭的人，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXiqCirdr0
在口齒伶俐的衛威恩臉前突然一度語塞。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziAEMFD1AG
衛威恩乘著此空檔又接著說。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBch3rVfh1H
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VBFbORTcb
“無論如何，你昨晚也經歷過糟透了的事。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XKcHt8QUs
現在要做到就是和我一起去吃早餐，
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOKudnpAjT
完成今天的工作後休息幾天，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7RzZoU2Zx
像我一樣調整下步伐再面對人生。
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntUcTMVCmf
抱歉，小孩 讓你等了一段時間。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiRJbhfe0u
希望我們的交談沒有耽誤你寶貴的時間。 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Acv9nkyR
衛威恩．威克森”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJCPSp42XK
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdtRu068XX
衛威恩從偉兹手上接過報紙的同時，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpN1S236aq
伸出左手表示友好。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTQJTRhlEK
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnfqM1Pu3i
“我是偉兹．霍華德，當然沒有耽誤呀！”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w365AZWkY
偉兹緊握衛威恩的左手後準備離去。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5brV6Pvvk
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlmLxTGfUM
“你不...不....和我們一起吃早餐嗎”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbklJsFih68
安東尼聽完衛威森的話後，多少也有點釋懷。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSwV65TWt4
希望和兩位朋友一起吃早餐以放鬆心情。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhAze12ke7
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U8nKrYzg4
“下次吧，我還得把單車泊回家。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL9vwq8nvG
再見了衛威恩先生和安東尼，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYRLUVOc3n
祝你們有美好的一天”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclcx2HmrtT
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVV05VnlTn
“再見”兩人異口同聲向衛兹道別。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMUcHjN4rH
