I had never seen Kendall drive before. It was frightening to say the least. She was driving way too fast, but I guess given the circumstances I didn't mind it. She kept her eyes on the road the entire time, even when I fiddled with the radio. I knew she didn't know where she was going, either, I just hoped she could sense something.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL2wH6tP9l

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKmMWIxt0v
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0lwi25ban
"Sure." I nodded and reached over to pick up her phone off the dashboard. I opened it and looked at the text message. "Um, Kendall? You might want to stop driving."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjav3isaX7

"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcNxC7UEgZ
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjilt5Penhd
"Because you're cold," I said softly. When she asked me what the hell I was talking about, I said, "That's what your message says: you're cold. What's going on?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ7kda1nxx

"It's Seth," she said as she jerked the car to a full stop and looked at me, her golden eyes glinting in the dark. "I don't even know this asshole and he's killed my friends and taken my boyfriend."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKad8cBd6n
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o1gyvh7SK
I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi55WTaXJzR

"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9MEOJ5aip
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrRX6oaGXb
I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF0KWxsL0C

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX8fsJofyF
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsRQMmCEGr
"Fuck you," she hissed.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcAi8Asws0

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3hm8TGo7l

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbW5pzQ31C
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JPwGLcKSB
A soft chuckle filled the silence in the car. I watched Kendall shiver and close her eyes. If I knew any better, she was willing herself not to cry, because all of this was too much.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzyARB7CAa

"Listen you piece of shit," I said, gripping the door handle. "If you don't tell me why you're doing this and you hurt Christian, I'm going to kill you."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05koVIa94n

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4hbhumEtg

When the dial tone sounded, Kendall started to cry. She was trembling so much that I thought she was going to drop the phone. When she didn't, when she just let out this awful wailing noise, I grabbed her hands tightly. I wanted her to look at me, to see that I was here, that I was so fucking sorry for what I did, and I would help her through this.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOf4TGCcOZ

"Stop," I whispered. "Stop it and look at me. Look at me, damnit! I'm real, I'm here, and we're going to be okay. We're going to save him." When I moved my hands to her faces, finally, she turned her head, her golden eyes murky.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacQTYV7Xx3

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSH6fI8Oni
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChe1EIuj7o
"I know," I said, pulling her to me. She rested the side of her cheek against my chest, and if it were possible, I could feel every ounce of regret that she had.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyiHnsE1f5

When her phone vibrated against my knee, neither of us moved. Kendall didn't even seem to notice, but I did. Slowly, I picked it up and looked at the screen.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgf1nJL6Ds
