據偉兹所知313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUIVhkkLcC
雷爾夫先生是位退役軍人，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9x2MnXbkn
同時也是年紀相近朋友———313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDmRqzgfsv
帕特里克·普斯特的父親。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylWYlUQZRq
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP2Wvbq13Y
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJPYWRssib
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxTfxHfesA
阿登步道就是條人手鋪設的花崗石路，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQU1F2VT9h
週邊是綠意盎然的森林。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9nkMZ2O4d
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE99y11g1GG
白天時基本上就只有松鼠，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXYrWx4ztK
白兔等毫無威脅性的野生動物。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQnOg4gMPc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljlxTFHgbB
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqtTHrvm5i
但近期傳有野豬在步道附近出沒的傳言，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXABqx5k31
鮑伯農場亦受到野豬滋擾。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27m6cBEiZy
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWCsbnhgIb
帕特里克和偉兹在森林中嬉戲時也受到襲擊，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKef1zQie1
幸好雷爾夫先生及時來到驅逐了野豬。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4BM58kB9d
兩人才沒受到傷害。
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrP3Egp0wB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hWNPAniTg
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiee3uWPzL
而今天早上，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFzwvH574W
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjUUjMA2M3
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLerfWXS8g
偉兹從車頭的布袋內抽出一紮報紙，
抛向雷爾夫。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAwT4Imkgq
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNqLqOelK4
“早安，雷爾夫先生！帕特里克的腳沒有大礙吧？” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV5oVSsfZp
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2No1UTbwMR
“原來是偉兹呀，請別嚇我。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPbE7WV4il
帕特里克應該再休息一天就可以和你去玩了，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXyo8X3rrD
但請不要再去阿登步道了哦。″ 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNkNQR2aef
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s6dmQ1zf3
雷爾夫的反應似乎不如平時般從容，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXnjZQodLU
反而像為躲避著什麼而鬼鬼祟祟似的。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5ZM9UAbTm
若不是偉兹認識雷爾夫，他定必會被當成小偷。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLCxf0CGjb
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUnHEuhrPG
“我知道了！”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc2WFIXMqh
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkhbPTL6YO
雷爾夫接下報紙後，背後的家門緩緩張開，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHi4arh3au
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbfuKL7d3Z
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZodd0f1Tum
雷爾夫沒有馬上轉身，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAgsZ2QEF9
在戰鬥開始前至少要讓無辜的偉兹離開。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlQyqfQMJu
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F0ENwoXNX
“早安！普斯特夫人！”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS7ghBrKIN
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSbeJwNhca
“早安呀偉兹，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wmOuPfNKh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtD4RhchM2
普斯特夫人回應時雖然臉帶微笑，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Lgvhgn5u
但也讓偉茲感受到微弱的壓迫感。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AZ15qvZXS
而且這話可能根本不是說給自己聽的。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWKVTZrKCJ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkNhVspG6k
“說得也對呢，我差不多要上學了，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXUDlnkEgb
得趕去最後一戶，再見兩位.....”
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvICI6Gf1W
偉兹語氣沒有了剛才的熱情。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhVPayssZ2
普斯特夫婦也笑著揮手回應，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTud2JG4HsE
雷爾夫臉上的笑容像是帶著一點哀愁。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL679Ustjn
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu1mktOosV
“親愛的，你不會是剛剛才回到家吧？”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKWLEEn8dp
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hveEcxIKM
″當....當....當然不是呀，艾露娜......″313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj2tUtGXej
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qhex8ksyg
偉兹沒有再聽下去，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntL0Uschzq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nlYUPLLGY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3Cttqe0tm
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXes05jHpb6
最後一站，威克森家就在普斯特家對邊。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalo5gxjUsF
偉兹一直對擔任過警察的衛威恩非常感興趣，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmg2HDlJPE
衛威恩年幼時曾和家人一度遷出大城市，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdHle7Ukj4
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hgus1YaON
於半年前某件有關鮑伯農場的案件後。 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gDvaOq87x
心灰意冷的衛威恩交出警章和配槍，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCo51O31jY
獨自回到諾谷湖鎮居住。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7GCIsvrwZ
但奇怪的是偉兹從沒見過衛威恩本人。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPYm743BqV
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeZsgSMaiB
比起流傳著奇怪傳言的雷爾夫，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWUzSmKcUq
衛威恩在鎮上的風評確實不俗，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHtg26kn3v
市集的商店老闆都欣賞他爽快和正直。
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkUbBNGZut
留在和睦的鎮上是種浪費，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn0rAg5gSF
他應該回到大城市繼續撲滅罪惡，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwELghVFyY
成為守護市民的警察才對。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYNYPW6qNq
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdp63nHksN
偉兹來到威克森家前，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32tsTjyZxk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLlk6c49d4
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvvHXGIVco
這是最後一站，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffz7PQ3kcy
偉兹把單車停泊在道路旁，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnUcy4qSMx
他不用拋的派送方式，下車親手遞給衛威恩。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrRjqepM4s
藉此一窺洛城警署三級警探的風采。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqBG3m5q4x
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OESc2HKeK
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0qPz5Hhlj
貨車進退兩難時，我就出現了？”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCR94pwTEn
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9ifImXrpZ
″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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRzgk1XwMb
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGpSgvLudl
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL0qm7FEPR
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e99dtpkAG
“但我...沒....有犯罪....” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpU0LfwjRb
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP1tDU9tC5
“我當然知道了朋友，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoy56mBKUY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYRSbe4No3
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qaHtmPzd9
“好像有...道...理” 安東尼看向衛威恩的雙臂說道。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItrqdvzZHz
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRzQ1xTUAi
“可能你只是太累了，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eYoDTYFEC
我昨晚在家睡了一整晚，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqPLAIKMqH
直至你的拍門聲弄醒我。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGItFrkheR
所以又怎可能出現在你眼前呢？”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaY4MM8bhY
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8npOVoPcA
“抱.....歉”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrEWhsx0TE
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uewYoX9Nq
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8yQ8ywf6u
可能你真的遇上樹木倒塌意外，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8suayuBqy
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8oCjliSya
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XVSIHW3pq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv84dVnLKV
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwsts7pmLP
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuVOdeC0Eu
給你重要的提示好讓你鼓起勇氣脫離險境。”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXRVQTVZIC
衛威恩以食指輕點安東尼的心臟位置說。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T1ISHauu0
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52RenaRlso
安東尼本來就是個不擅措辭的人，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuhUGxzEHz
在口齒伶俐的衛威恩臉前突然一度語塞。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtzlCQXgS4
衛威恩乘著此空檔又接著說。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinAS7hbOfX
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwdwbBWjTU
“無論如何，你昨晚也經歷過糟透了的事。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBbbWwivRo
現在要做到就是和我一起去吃早餐，
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoXTh6vKHI
完成今天的工作後休息幾天，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DEQUbubAM
像我一樣調整下步伐再面對人生。
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYX7HCdc1u
抱歉，小孩 讓你等了一段時間。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfPfA1jAOn
希望我們的交談沒有耽誤你寶貴的時間。 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34zEQYFuXC
衛威恩．威克森”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtimImFw6O9
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgyUp6FnVO
衛威恩從偉兹手上接過報紙的同時，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywTQsw4rjl
伸出左手表示友好。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntnp6rZ2Wv
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxJDBBbbgj
“我是偉兹．霍華德，當然沒有耽誤呀！”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaa4TlGRfN
偉兹緊握衛威恩的左手後準備離去。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCFSTq75kR
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2USIyhhxC
“你不...不....和我們一起吃早餐嗎”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeNy4ChRIR
安東尼聽完衛威森的話後，多少也有點釋懷。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaSLkwN0OW
希望和兩位朋友一起吃早餐以放鬆心情。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX0iYIY9BT
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwnr3WSzfL
“下次吧，我還得把單車泊回家。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcaRqPKdDK
再見了衛威恩先生和安東尼，313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nxkB02x0e
祝你們有美好的一天”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfiZK9Wze2
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HPfOfdKyM
“再見”兩人異口同聲向衛兹道別。313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAQtP3qGkz
