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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHcUSVN68a

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWlV9qcnfJ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDlZk32KSJ
"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."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH1Zt7b1jU
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkEuV71TBG
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nwu3dbu9O
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2LYQuVy2K
"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?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZWGjvqgi6

"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."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bv3q14B1J
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6V42Pausv
I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLksnVozt7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOXtojOoxr
"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw47d6d4Udq
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMFy8oEkox
I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHIZdT8p0N

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrJifmCVtC
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3k0KzZ8TX
"Fuck you," she hissed.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK95g9TrfqO

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0hB2vsbo4

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ674SBpJHlA
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8cdo2hYjb
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrcAjEbq7J

"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."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuijIhCs0K8

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiTnuixybF

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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUasSTIVTc

"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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gNEnxDofO

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0aP0u7gaQ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiYdF0eSeL
"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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVrT8uJSYP
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPhNqqEmDB
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.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX24cXMqjX
