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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC10XP6jw6q

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBrLSxikVH
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYFsWUv4K0
"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."412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYTKWXvxDb
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ39Gdlc1k
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS2a1uE3L0
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU70edRL1n
"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?"412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4brcJO5MU

"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."412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbzg839mHz
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh2SJkFS53
I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZvHbin5LW
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHRgO7rR6F
"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fFjcVIpCT
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYBPFeXovF
I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXKEVu3ixd

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJBxkZCdLg
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefLfCsSv3l
"Fuck you," she hissed.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCciIkd1Xr

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xJUeSfjv1

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqDPvmRW0p
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwAWH5G7vz
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlvnEmET5G

"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."412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0ptSAY8lv

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSZFApyq0m

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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhjhy2NA2W

"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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB1Puhxxgi

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMQ8qswSgB
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJjOyF25bB
"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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjmCrD1KaJ

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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgtBR6VGdl
