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.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIDc7Ap2dg

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDn8AMINur
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKAccOwg3A
"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."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFF9WUeyTe
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsSTtwM30o
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1Ln91xM3A
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x8Sac3eCg
"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?"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtBmP5Sany

"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."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGlo2Ln163

I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgFkCcZ6CL

"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm6gsQkFp1
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44usVemnha
I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ954dvGyYZe

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3JsrBCH8j
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrBwLvG8S2
"Fuck you," she hissed.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ViBfN3LaI

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS0hu6Fmli

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsyqqazBfo
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh73YJuyDdG
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.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmNmEw76gs

"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."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1B4B3fBbK

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQfKne7o9P

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.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD3ipIvfje

"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.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprjFqoo1sl

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq4kFWYOUU
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FHnokLFHY
"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.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC32JFYAeTl

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.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMQwAlZL1v
