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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqssGiEak7

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb3pFyD8cL
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkk3u7h82b
"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."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNdh7O2CQj
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINeFKA08A8
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xhlj8QPOV
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0GNt4osrY
"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?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM7v2U1aB2

"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."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLCfGiikJP
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoGpY550IN
I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7acuo6w6vx

"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06USH8wYdh

I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpcDZ6lD1D

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSxTB7pZCj
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVn2DU9QmJ
"Fuck you," she hissed.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc8YjlYv3l

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbN0RTrYRf

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvchkVJWLA
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ysyvgve2N
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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYD2xEXd5n

"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."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtSVbmUm7N

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHj2QgebvQ

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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQdo0cVz9Q

"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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleDFwZmz3p

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFt5UkL1Rf
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKySdnG47Yl
"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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAOylBgwEo

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.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hTWzpCGfB
