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.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvZNraenw2

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesM7M8S2dQ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmrCFP0IMG
"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."453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj6ZQxGxgV
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk5TKxhN8T
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW9ukgn0EY
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Arjl0cw8
"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?"453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhstP9tYVE

"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."453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jRdzUQHHQ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVn6C2v6qb
I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPtIdlnHXT
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHDdi5bvph
"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsZKvTKPOL
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXWza15ckz
I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXAK4GpkbH

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeFo7eA4HE
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB9suSyUV4
"Fuck you," she hissed.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3vdIS9XdC

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXcaoVElXU

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNhpehB9Bz
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeJRjITIXc
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.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu1qx91VQs

"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."453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo7uCF3tu6

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKztovyeZ9E

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.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ155vJt4IHo

"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.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmBvs471wS
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxnlqUvBew
"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9lRgnbWs3
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgBKdiYnXi
"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.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UEWq1wKdM

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.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BcxmbJQQl
