據偉兹所知316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yiNT50zVE
雷爾夫先生是位退役軍人，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlYuROUAyv
同時也是年紀相近朋友———316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyzAcWThFK
帕特里克·普斯特的父親。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nM7Wo3Nub
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei1gTRCdXZ
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。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4WMQvHxca
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuuBLzEKK4
阿登步道就是條人手鋪設的花崗石路，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6IUAG7bly
週邊是綠意盎然的森林。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJe3rNTqzh
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijTlUJ2RFH
白天時基本上就只有松鼠，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrFR8XPX2p
白兔等毫無威脅性的野生動物。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0F2tWA4ce
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。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakVWYEullH
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5BbcrgkcI
但近期傳有野豬在步道附近出沒的傳言，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6nERgEhVY
鮑伯農場亦受到野豬滋擾。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIpbFYAC1p
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI0TK9ZXoM
帕特里克和偉兹在森林中嬉戲時也受到襲擊，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb6aUFMq0p
幸好雷爾夫先生及時來到驅逐了野豬。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ833uYmBtd1
兩人才沒受到傷害。
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKhLeXH8RR
這次之後，
偉兹便立志要成為像雷爾夫這樣的男子漢。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IozErT4v1
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NS1d62HPy
而今天早上，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kV9Vsl0Rd
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。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ6MM5zLVS
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFXXC5vHk4
偉兹從車頭的布袋內抽出一紮報紙，
抛向雷爾夫。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAV0DqdSMU
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXm58rasG3
“早安，雷爾夫先生！帕特里克的腳沒有大礙吧？” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNMuZI1Fth
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapLMvxBE3i
“原來是偉兹呀，請別嚇我。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSg3iOXUv1
帕特里克應該再休息一天就可以和你去玩了，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZevW6cwUYE
但請不要再去阿登步道了哦。″ 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhtTHHFbIj
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhrw8ZbdEP
雷爾夫的反應似乎不如平時般從容，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVLGabX0GR
反而像為躲避著什麼而鬼鬼祟祟似的。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5fQsCwnN3
若不是偉兹認識雷爾夫，他定必會被當成小偷。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy9x52jRfg
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOtkFGur6x
“我知道了！”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Ali933S4
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqCQNoih3Q
雷爾夫接下報紙後，背後的家門緩緩張開，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXXKg7blPB
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。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWd050CgtI
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vn500RBtY
雷爾夫沒有馬上轉身，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWhpHIXdVv
在戰鬥開始前至少要讓無辜的偉兹離開。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKhoTYZqgT
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpRyDI597p
“早安！普斯特夫人！”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6ptjVtDsR
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg4D3nSDTq
“早安呀偉兹，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBU9Qnz5PF
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。”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR4doHJMJZ
普斯特夫人回應時雖然臉帶微笑，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XNuEzjWYJ
但也讓偉茲感受到微弱的壓迫感。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPrZJeTsi9
而且這話可能根本不是說給自己聽的。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe4a045fQV
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5j78UZ5TC
“說得也對呢，我差不多要上學了，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYemzKydJd
得趕去最後一戶，再見兩位.....”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUHhsVzSMo
偉兹語氣沒有了剛才的熱情。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEJJI8Flfj
普斯特夫婦也笑著揮手回應，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0H1pn4F1M
雷爾夫臉上的笑容像是帶著一點哀愁。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmtVJDdLpe
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIdkI8IO8J
“親愛的，你不會是剛剛才回到家吧？”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAXrtoHJmY
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53r70PmOzd
″當....當....當然不是呀，艾露娜......″316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox2BXdPPmr
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbB2OodOnj
偉兹沒有再聽下去，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIpiYATQGt
只是在疑惑著雷爾夫先生是不是和安東尼一樣有口吃。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5BbmWwx8t
很多年後已成人父的他才能稍稍理解雷爾夫的感受。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdTiJazumP
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0miIlnw0bZ
最後一站，威克森家就在普斯特家對邊。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTQMWEvXqP
偉兹一直對擔任過警察的衛威恩非常感興趣，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XREPMZWLj
衛威恩年幼時曾和家人一度遷出大城市，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO3hB5rqkD
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ5oSIEXwh
於半年前某件有關鮑伯農場的案件後。 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ObyltKQkD
心灰意冷的衛威恩交出警章和配槍，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3SIrbtDtd
獨自回到諾谷湖鎮居住。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJdoWyvePq
但奇怪的是偉兹從沒見過衛威恩本人。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HFtmUgM4S
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3XsZVUebZ
比起流傳著奇怪傳言的雷爾夫，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfcQCo1boa
衛威恩在鎮上的風評確實不俗，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFyHCJzWL7
市集的商店老闆都欣賞他爽快和正直。
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7YmYadI0E
留在和睦的鎮上是種浪費，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W9xaW95R0
他應該回到大城市繼續撲滅罪惡，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo58xoeqXkv
成為守護市民的警察才對。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd1yVYqEbH
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ4i84vXYZ
偉兹來到威克森家前，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF356f9Q86V
而門前有一位偉兹非常熟識的訪客在和衛威恩交談。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR5OzajHx6
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFsHiJh5MX
這是最後一站，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr8XPvMEdf
偉兹把單車停泊在道路旁，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoNL81BRJ5
他不用拋的派送方式，下車親手遞給衛威恩。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou8YQ4havi
藉此一窺洛城警署三級警探的風采。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnHFRzDbkr
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfufz8FIcnf
“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。
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYabGXMOCh
貨車進退兩難時，我就出現了？”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0gZMKFlnM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljsqV7rYh8
″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″ 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWnzSyULZu
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMdlefWim7
“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。”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM7SV5aNmc
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIWbvHcMjH
“但我...沒....有犯罪....” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj0FAWOa3d
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PKmY1AyRx
“我當然知道了朋友，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSURNEKKwm
但我雖然很強壯也不可能徒手搬起重至上噸的樹木吧？”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKRZZPbopU
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TZrzwQ5iG
“好像有...道...理” 安東尼看向衛威恩的雙臂說道。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0QrZiLeGT
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaR3uy29JJ
“可能你只是太累了，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke8vrzPTe0
我昨晚在家睡了一整晚，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sm4nAyMDZ
直至你的拍門聲弄醒我。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9DACLbUZA
所以又怎可能出現在你眼前呢？”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wITE84nW4
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qHhbUwV8q
“抱.....歉”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNDls6hezc
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUGFq26Y7O
“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。
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A4gY2ygX9
可能你真的遇上樹木倒塌意外，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzmTK03Ui4
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。” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycLXLPGES7
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gIfLaSQuN
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。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM9je0XeGF
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3LL091QGj
“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，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz2O6MEnwW
給你重要的提示好讓你鼓起勇氣脫離險境。”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHLYDt0yHx
衛威恩以食指輕點安東尼的心臟位置說。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbksjNN87P
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhpaWFsyql
安東尼本來就是個不擅措辭的人，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmwWXv6Wtj
在口齒伶俐的衛威恩臉前突然一度語塞。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdTkRJNqJZ
衛威恩乘著此空檔又接著說。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrbEXK7eeM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETip4m0DFc
“無論如何，你昨晚也經歷過糟透了的事。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjJQCXoYlf
現在要做到就是和我一起去吃早餐，
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWTxRKY34p
完成今天的工作後休息幾天，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKn1qVoo0m
像我一樣調整下步伐再面對人生。
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMZNxYX1vz
抱歉，小孩 讓你等了一段時間。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIAb08ruvF
希望我們的交談沒有耽誤你寶貴的時間。 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUfnyGi1jo
衛威恩．威克森”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ95hp5eDb
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN4P78YZbw
衛威恩從偉兹手上接過報紙的同時，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUL8kLPALa
伸出左手表示友好。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQlTPKXAfv
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDlepXFPIe
“我是偉兹．霍華德，當然沒有耽誤呀！”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl7wsX01pl
偉兹緊握衛威恩的左手後準備離去。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kKKEqiA6x
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoVoVs378b
“你不...不....和我們一起吃早餐嗎”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKep4Vl4I54
安東尼聽完衛威森的話後，多少也有點釋懷。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6JypQJxIH
希望和兩位朋友一起吃早餐以放鬆心情。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B6eUawOvz
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJOLKgEgB9
“下次吧，我還得把單車泊回家。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWzmIWNSUK
再見了衛威恩先生和安東尼，316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNDL2ryXcd
祝你們有美好的一天”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58WHcUFElv
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zn3hi0OV6
“再見”兩人異口同聲向衛兹道別。316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpIFH8hXQu
