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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkTnZXQ0Rc

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxDkEHPlH0
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwapwlpqXj
"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."458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrCC4VZfDY

"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dq0QwZddM
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtC6ZnluKi
"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?"458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXdXsEiyTY

"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."458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxZWYUMpzL

I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszCjwsCASh

"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL80hy3loe

I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZCBh3Cgdi

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fJolpbcQx
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAudD8qpe0g
"Fuck you," she hissed.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6GIGyhMlN

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd4yX2trku

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchzjXFnKwA
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDomycqiEw
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVRRZueZcj

"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."458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gn3gp1erG

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwjT6d7RY1

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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KGC9TbuQQ

"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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXWJgU0ua4

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzPvJTDIIx
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDwhRKZfYa
"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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze4UkooYdc

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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUbmLuFhAk
