"You said you were just taking her to the garden! To see the stars!(你说你只是带她去花园!去看星星!)"他双手摊开,满眼凌乱,"The stars are outside! Not on your bed!(星星在外面!不在你的床上!)"
"My desk, actually.(实际上是我的桌子。)"Krueger轻巧地接话。
……
你抿直自己上扬的嘴角,默默松开夹住Krueger腰的腿。
不能笑,K?nig一拳下来你都得头七。
Krueger揪扯了一下自己的衣领,从你身前退开半步。随即转身,大半个脊背挡在你身前。
"We finished with the stars.(我们看完星星了。)"他的语调恢复了散漫调侃,"Now we are busy. Close the door on your way out. And shut your eyes.(现在我们很忙。出去的时候把门带上。顺便闭上你的眼睛。)"
"He is forcing you, Liebling?(他在强迫你吗,亲爱的?)"K?nig的声音放轻了些许,带着咬牙切齿的意味,仿佛只要你点头,他就会立马掐上老乡的脖子。"Did he hurt you?(他弄疼你了吗?)"
"没……"你张了张嘴,试图组织语言。
"She is fine.(她很好。)"Krueger插话,转回身单手按上桌沿。他看着你,眸中情绪收敛干净,"She was just telling me how much she likes my pany.(她刚才正在告诉我她有多喜欢我的陪伴。)"
他的手指摸到你撑桌的手上,安抚地敲了敲。
……
别啊老公!你这是在挑衅别人!!会挨揍的!
K?nig拳头捏得咔嚓响,又迈进一步。巨大的阴影压下来。
"You liar.(你这个骗子。)"他蓝色的瞳孔紧缩,呼吸穿过面罩扑打出来,格外粗重。
你吓死了,拼命回忆自己有没有欺骗K?nig的地方——
"You brought her here to hide her from us!(你把她带到这里是为了把她藏起来不让我们知道!)"
哦哦哦,原来说的是老克头。
"Hide?(藏?)"Krueger轻嗤一声,"We were in the garden where anyone could see. If you were busy counting your bullets, that is your problem.(我们刚才在花园里,任何人都能看见。如果你忙着数你的子弹,那是你的问题。)"
"But this isn't the bloody garden. You want to mark your territory, you do it when we're all dead. Understood?(但这儿可不是什么该死的一楼花园。你想标记你的领地,等我们都死绝了再干。听懂了吗?)"
老天,Ghost怎么这么凶!他开会的时候被那个什么将军骂了吗?
Krueger耸了耸肩,表情依旧维持着那种漫不经心的闲散。
"Just making sure she's warm, Lieutenant(只是确保她足够暖和罢了,中尉)。"
"She was warm enough until you dragged her into this mess(在你把她拖进这堆破事之前,她已经够暖和了)。"Ghost冷哼一声。
"Spring has arrived, and with the awakening of the wilderness, the great savannah enters its season of courtship and mating...(春天来了,万物复苏,大草原上又到了动物交配的季节……)"
"Liebling…(亲爱的……)"Krueger拖长音调,"You push away the giant, slap my pillow, and demand fruit. Like a tiny, angry dictator.(你赶走了那个大个子,拍飞我的枕头,还要吃水果。你就是个小暴君。)"
"Riley! No pizza for you!(莱利!你不能吃比萨!)"视频里的男人笑着喊,揉了把狗狗竖得笔直的大耳朵,狗狗大叫了两声。
——!
原本昏昏欲睡的你,大脑瞬间通电。你挨近Keegan,兴奋到脸热:
"噢哦——它叫Riley?好可爱……" 你感动,"它看起来好乖,在摇尾巴诶!"
"He is a good dog. But clearly needs a diet.(他是条好狗狗。不过显然需要节食了。)"
Keegan淡定地收起手机,揉了一把你的脑袋,莫名让你想到视频里揉狗狗脑袋的动作。
"If you behave yourself, I'll take you to meet him next time. And I'll also introduce those two pains in the neck, Hesh and Logan, to you.(如果你表现得好,下次我可以带你去见它。顺便介绍Hesh和Logan给你认识。)"
Keegan将视频进度条拉回开头。于是你又美滋滋看了一遍帅哥和帅狗。
"它竟然也叫Reily,这个名字——"
"You're calling the dog Riley?(你管那条狗叫Riley?)"你身后响起荒谬的曼彻斯特口音。
……
完了,另一个"Reily"听见了。
但狗狗真的叫Reily啊。
原本安分坐在沙发另一头的Ghost向你们这个方向靠过来。
被赶到单人沙发上的Krueger懒洋洋出声:"To be fair, Lieutenant.(说句公道话,中尉。)"
"The dog looks friendlier. And probably bites fewer people.(那条狗看起来比较友善。而且估计咬的人也没你多。)"
坐在你脚边的K?nig扭过头来,"I want a dog. Liebling, if we have a dog, I will name him…(我想要只狗。亲爱的,如果我们养狗,我会给他起名叫……)"
他卡壳了,似乎在认真思考,"Schnitzel? Ja. Good Austrian name.(炸肉排?对。不错的奥地利名字。)"
他凑什么热闹!!
"炸肉排可能是'炸肉排'的食谱,K?nig。"你咂咂嘴。
"No one is getting a dog.(谁也不会养狗。)"Ghost烦躁地打断这个话题,重新靠回左侧,"We can barely keep her from wandering into a crossfire, let alone a bloody animal.(我们连拦着她乱跑进交火区都费劲,更别提再加个该死的动物。)"
话音刚落,你挨着Keegan的肩膀就被人轻轻扣住。Keegan收起手机,把你推直。
"Don't listen to him, kid.(别听他的,孩子。)"Keegan语气难得戏谑,"If you want a dog, I'll steal one from Shadow Company. Better trained.(你要是想养狗,我就去暗影公司偷一条。训练得好些。)"
"I said no bloody dogs!(我说了不准养该死的狗!)"Ghost的音调拔高了一度。
"I made it. Stitched the eyes myself.(我做的。眼睛是我自己缝上去的。)"K?nig指着你怀里红色毛毛怪,"You like it? Liebling, I can make a bigger one. The size of me! You can hug it to sleep…(你喜欢吗?亲爱的,我能做个更大的。和我一样大!你可以抱着它睡觉……)"
"And Riley…the German Shepherd.(还有Riley……那条德国牧羊犬。)"
"Bravest son of a bitch I ever knew. He pulled Logan out of a collapsing building once. Better teammate than half the rookies I've trained.(我见过的最有种的。他有次把Logan从一栋快塌的楼里拖了出来。比我带过的一半新兵都靠谱。)"
