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.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9foiYwfQ5y

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvx7T1bqm8
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZGKi8Rzxh
"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."463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmODa2WX5d
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxVoWhw1kT
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrFZY16qoX
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwUcMJ9jgk
"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?"463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sYt2ZEE0J

"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."463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24y7ZS2Xge

I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcl7BsWJQN
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgs3BjleKo
"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ttrj2LKE
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXHbe7WIiL
I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlonPlDmuW

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHfaVS6lxC
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriU36tupsS
"Fuck you," she hissed.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL309cLL7KX

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl1fiAWD75

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGuMIiKRpZ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbQS6Y7J7G
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.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfreJ8RrOaX

"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."463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQF0Rit0Dk

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6Tj57hfPB

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.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQjhTK48C4

"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.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVq8Q4k6L9
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tHnmq2fK1
"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS17At8Z3LV
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFDCxT5Bz8
"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.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dfP5oT389

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.463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab82nBJ6eu
