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.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC0TxJyJ8r

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdBBh1LEwu
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC88odDvfva
"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."450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWtL2miRYz
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyNdPPREJs
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x1IHKO6uT
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Jm47jeNK
"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?"450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc8GlhNHnq

"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."450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiGkc9h6L2

I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYZhsBnL52

"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys8nnmtZlg

I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWfPWyfP4V

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1uLXJ1BPv
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkjGOStqio
"Fuck you," she hissed.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t8V9Ecs4w

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2BzIYKAOe

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8rwMNSiiN
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJOrnzAivC
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.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJqPfqvxiP

"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."450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEePK04PaM9

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jYKg5BASk

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.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLarC71B3e

"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.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVhoqXVbJa

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrRDkJO7S6

"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.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYA1xzj1Vi

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.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoFLWnAuG4
