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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtKGB0441A

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscVzAlM5PL
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjopZpTBQa
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP2YsUIXLJ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOCJueqHtF
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxQO5HidsB
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqaUOUkuXl
"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?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGY9R9TKR7

"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQpESrqVeC
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvZOCm5cLj
I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYc1UzFumZ

"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgL7SJ5HrI
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr7PtfqS20
I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcv3aYMvJF

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAJ2u8Frjw
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWGDwnlrou
"Fuck you," she hissed.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O6sV9Lplt

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvHH9Z8haI

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZxFlCThyQ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iImEQkf9d
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ161VZyJaKv

"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHXltbYZkM

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfck7AeoSK

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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45VjBEwSDx

"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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPTilLZqXt

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHsX3XAR6N
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTg3xElhE5
"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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5yah7WpSU

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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM6dyirj8Z
