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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN4c5Vt2da

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsBxt0VLoD
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfL7Pmqzu5
"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."465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIIFF77rWR

"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8sqrExAw4
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzEzBmLoZx
"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?"465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94scepx4UG

"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."465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARAvYgqifd

I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV8gISM4XA

"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTRZ01uLCm
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9doeT5STj
I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTMuY7jgpD

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXziH3cVkE
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnP4ca30eP
"Fuck you," she hissed.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMykQuvbpFe

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOT67vqQHr

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDxTZLChsO
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iqB4uRxMx
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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gjT0Ne8jP

"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."465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1vF4BlCA6

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oxLC5TXUm

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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2dq0SLfuq

"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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4TzGREM1j

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx43v8t82h
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakiBbtcbwX
"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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nEMTkZEPG

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.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ2qGRHXLg
