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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdnDQPc0RT

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ruZkU9jIC
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHmfhR8CC9
"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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTh2KLRa8N

"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3udsyKBNe
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1YIwKuY35
"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?"449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRSOYRSyGi

"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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABejFDik9x

I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyaiWllXvT

"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8s25rLUoI

I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Xqdh865R

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQbEVYyRHl

"Fuck you," she hissed.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91emIZ38kB

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2onyHY0qG

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44Tpen2Wom
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVto86FRcY
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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp0i1fFZKG

"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."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4svvryKScb

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplywdJqx0k

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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTNYIJ9DVT

"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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHchTBCtehF

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFWwyO9YWc
449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUwi6ZASfn
"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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAJAtp5cqf

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.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq5sCcse97
