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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnECDyefkZP

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRjI7mMfYu
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqvg2ZkmqF
"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."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkYlmDfNpj
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9ztIAch93
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGr4tSIxNM
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF11b74loV
"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?"510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMfeQJbag0

"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."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsWuAyMEG9

I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAgebW9RCC
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6AR04ibSJ
"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFCyJ1OR0k
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGLjOMCDou
I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAM9ujXLq0

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5ngKHa4Nl
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lPI0E904h
"Fuck you," she hissed.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlTRjGdI4f

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7WbkJAaP2

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0faOOuJys2
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y7pvmcEZ4
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxiOpWzhgD

"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."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrLsxMudSp

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwLfqJN5OI

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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaufOqk6zb

"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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8GD4YaEMU

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyXZPyWci2
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ch4kGT49Q
"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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ847J9rsTWw

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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmFpRO9w1N
