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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgxnyLLycl

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3clbgT9v9H
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCyNeK1Hyz
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnST4icUV2
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpniJj0TF6
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLjJ0j1kSN
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq55du4j9E
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkGDvLDI8t

"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpx4ea6pKQ

I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC39TJ3oxVM

"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWZqWY0sNq

I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLJbXLgq2r

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupU5ooqJCn

"Fuck you," she hissed.500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOYTP8l52L

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8ql0yUljV

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURtOblyraT
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdNWEkB4Qi
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB8fPCF0hA

"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTycefGPtB

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzHU3FBJTn

"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0oX7uSpBf

"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKkunOOQ4J
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs70ng4RXT
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjq9LHWZJU

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr2oF3eRga
