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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCEp2XL5H5

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgEZL68HaZ
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsntm0gNqlQ
"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."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ573v86GkN6

"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf09ZlR8eV
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWSIpx69ML
"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?"413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPBYwJzRVO

"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."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4OpnGnVdM

I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaEihYiIf9
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFQ6fiGwST
"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYhUwo4Fl4
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D8iVpbbxR
I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7avm3i6Hm5

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpwMnb4n5N
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetbipX2B3G
"Fuck you," she hissed.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1oYxetO8c

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl9VFfAjnJ

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDGiL346BD
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9vu0xzt69
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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuAxzUszZf

"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."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua2GzT8XTy

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRm2xaapkw

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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNAJv210sv

"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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIcbGFwcn9
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvQTkLJIHc
"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE195bfAYL
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5XN3KbLkL
"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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobhYaPc4wA

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.413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCL4d9uUFT
