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.470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEbNjh40g6

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQGRDhp34c
470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2iuK8j13A
"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."470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7RgXlozhf

"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsmEcwr0hy

"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?"470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDU5wr7aA4

"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."470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG9N26yhkz

I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSQwuh7FEu

"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUKJCcjA8F

I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6oiEEmeIT

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmjSMycMtY

"Fuck you," she hissed.470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjrxx7ylTY

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxWm2otwWP

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuXfZlZGig

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.470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIWu3ib74k

"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."470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh3QW3gsDP

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7Vp55MPcQ

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.470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gn5nmoqtO

"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.470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8hJKw21Pr

"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVWYorgINb

"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.470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47xBNkn7GJ

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.470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj3hFG9h2g
