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.500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAHQIWE727

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKJ5YwSGA7
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpALPkOEqTr
"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."500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr5kMjZeZL
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLjVHHbDdL
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXDg01s0kt
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUZef8fTGR
"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?"500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GiwMKXb3A

"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."500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5fhldHBDl
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo1piDksnC
I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWMMnnFzLQ

"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jPlIoMFP3
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eOZaA3EGq
I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnI2NkyPqB

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx84gzdBf0
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOGYiAPMzE
"Fuck you," she hissed.500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYJoRVCY8z

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DYII2bI1e

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSOMuiNUcP
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2zjZqudH3
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.500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKHgsd4uHQ

"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."500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIODddvRjt

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtVvLdVsPx

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.500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI6pcoC6Go

"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.500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfF6u2RfpD

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYVQFNt5gG
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDIAk9REEr
"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.500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezusU2J8vO

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.500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnepipwdFi
