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.508Please respect copyright.PENANAWAiTOx5yet

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"508Please respect copyright.PENANAEiOYjXvxPs
508Please respect copyright.PENANAjQlr0jmfTp
"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."508Please respect copyright.PENANAYxUrdGyplu
508Please respect copyright.PENANAHGzLvSpK7P
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"508Please respect copyright.PENANAqG6nebBOUD
508Please respect copyright.PENANAL4j0mPUi9X
"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?"508Please respect copyright.PENANAfTYbXPzE5T
508Please respect copyright.PENANAyk2uj6Dh2R
"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."508Please respect copyright.PENANADKkJwqKtcZ
508Please respect copyright.PENANA47W63a7JCR
I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"508Please respect copyright.PENANASTHtMSX0uu
508Please respect copyright.PENANAZBYVPcuLpG
"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."508Please respect copyright.PENANALBvcVC846u
508Please respect copyright.PENANAA0bilWnzE7
I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.508Please respect copyright.PENANANTckIGmqzk
508Please respect copyright.PENANAy2RvQGo8yK
"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"508Please respect copyright.PENANAkk7iP9RTr3
508Please respect copyright.PENANAV8sMx8mL83
"Fuck you," she hissed.508Please respect copyright.PENANATsrRSFZPij
508Please respect copyright.PENANAHF8tkllq9K
"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."508Please respect copyright.PENANAPNqR4O5U7i
508Please respect copyright.PENANAi6WYejaE62
"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"508Please respect copyright.PENANA21lPu9oxpp
508Please respect copyright.PENANAzejizWAajh
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.508Please respect copyright.PENANAG4aaPczSYX
508Please respect copyright.PENANAyv7LaLyVF4
"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."508Please respect copyright.PENANAZTZcbO2BFL
508Please respect copyright.PENANALcmvdfAyK4
Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."508Please respect copyright.PENANAHcZ9HdIDIy
508Please respect copyright.PENANAFVhsBbBesw
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.508Please respect copyright.PENANA9qrwHfyahl
508Please respect copyright.PENANAau4qk9Z975
"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.508Please respect copyright.PENANAEgEo7R0AyJ
508Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8z6Y7HIHi
"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."508Please respect copyright.PENANAlG8Q8sGI6p
508Please respect copyright.PENANA0nFiFFNWwd
"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.508Please respect copyright.PENANAR89a1WOKB4
508Please respect copyright.PENANAxhVWJUoJvO
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.508Please respect copyright.PENANAxNhfTWGSMU
