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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRFtz3vQnv

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ITU5M1czS
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbd5faTS4U
"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."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1AjkJhgqR

"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4orNm3cqW8

"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?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN572x7h8u

"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."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqO3LMQvko

I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqibHuK5Yqn

"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZK4PAE7RT

I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PAM9Z9IeJ

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPHVPOFWCX
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvCJQTk7Ei
"Fuck you," she hissed.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIgRKlwfOH

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5Gc6rpSa7

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtQpdEDaCB
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6sJLK7QCH
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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylc3pjBaYs

"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."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuJEACLzqm

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVgCrr9QBH

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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnvOMOX79C

"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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7zD6kqBeh

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mZ2JX1Ujf

"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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1b8FgJmh3

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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI4V6psgB6
