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.452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblkzznxjAM

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJu5TCo5Am
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPFGakQgwM
"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."452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfiaDGxZXA
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetv2yYz4Yg
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ0Cx0JGsV
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheRUNMYTS7
"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?"452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMS3NVfYGE

"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."452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWIYqkLi8H
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA9Q7FqSZi
I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkneqUTJZ60

"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzNssGfZjh
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZfx5mpcj8
I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0VdKECEFW
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDhxzVm2QO
"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK3MTijx72
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLc4gv4v1r
"Fuck you," she hissed.452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqldM5hmYEm

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7PcrE0uS4

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMJcdA0XVh
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpvpue5KvT
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.452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7gEOd3eJh

"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."452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5dOOX3xGh

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6Y0IDshxO

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.452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77KUYISlpk

"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.452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjTugsybFH

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQmBpS5F3a
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIFdf1jzo2
"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.452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dhyFaQKU5
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B0t4kU02u
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.452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR317MbZKyb
