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.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuadGOzPHj7

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUVBU205No
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhyKXnjN5D
"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."92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSm5KRhDh1
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEWpfRrfXf
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuxceuzyiF
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdxxiipAVH
"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?"92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBolyNBpfRm

"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."92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO2umkMLUI
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw6O4Upu9g
I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREMIGuNdLr
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ig4dCp0oj
"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRQPFVJ5qT

I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu7vyl7Xlw

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvL5ELjgzL
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOfMjO7rLt
"Fuck you," she hissed.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3xlbqpf3y

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKED0qWOyoA

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNCKihsygr
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1511wYQ5m
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.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7I4GqTGxX

"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."92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZWX0YtYOy

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MgV8eZMEB

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.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWDb0Wyu8B

"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.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYbqBE2dBD
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6AghAcP5l
"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBDOoQkq3C
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SBhidVkqx
"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.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2DyjV8wLd
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcPu1ellEo
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.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKgz1yMXTd
