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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYxdHiKeLJ

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWn1X6ICxf
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz9dPxeyzo
"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."441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKsDMxbnhf
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLRE06ebkh
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSSnuSjodw
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJQVn85UN8
"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?"441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNatfI7jXyF

"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."441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTQ3IF9tDg
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5afd50BgY
I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QhmDhXsrO
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhBzVf4K9p
"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUfLxaYM69
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sLXjikfwU
I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkD0r8AqEj

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MDDbhahLA
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q3W2PHB4K
"Fuck you," she hissed.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKpLIR6X6u

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSaqF8wbKn

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFpoAqXObG
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhrCwtw7gH
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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgBbchHgNn

"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."441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU1iKPvraT

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbK4RxZLmX

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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwshn60wsKK

"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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbwjrwy8YW

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfju1aOJHv
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyavMKc194M
"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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m5GG8P889

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.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXKi4Zkpik
