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.456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dJGT7TH29

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWLaEHl5To
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw75duRKgQ
"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."456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vbk0bmHNI
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdI9jDere5
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysKb5Jgwzk
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYF69y3Sfd
"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?"456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBJ961hqaP

"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."456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10BonEwLi9

I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBigTNbzLo

"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LrY1LImcB
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx0jZ1dHvT
I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTDgozKZx9

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJXFzCmbgI
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0JIlhHR6c
"Fuck you," she hissed.456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzPJhrwdXl

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZa15oHdlz

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp6WNSfNPH
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3drWxvVLV3
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.456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtbmtVcaiL

"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."456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNrrW7249a

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFAoWPsk3W

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.456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9tYf9NE2n

"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.456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtY9Kx0VHY

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZGsLkAUby
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPg2BjcMkI
"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.456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbwYyJ1KWw
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpt1lxESfQ
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.456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIZrq7Rw4o
