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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMSZgVVoNu

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8IiKbFaeO
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7VD6CmG2l
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl6Z8ffDHf

"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9MFBNnaqT
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0sP551XqP
"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?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS6mCbsipJ

"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx5CxgzSgG
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RRcyYJpgL
I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwT1TDXS8e

"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WXU65xauJ

I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEpMfoqmCh

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SIyXC1HGZ
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0egIISoIlD
"Fuck you," she hissed.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sumx1gVWc

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4Cl5BfTCZ

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH65NIBpqL
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQYK6ZQ2rb
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAYwcXG7eh

"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8EK80iQiv

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnyieluCvd

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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUB4Cps24r

"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIPugxbmzv

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXthWVbimi7

"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfBzbwiOAL

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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeSnNpBqz6
