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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6xBM7bXea

It wasn't until her phone vibrated did she say, "Can you check that?"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV38oyeCdj
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIDgJ7lXMK
"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."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWioERDXF3X
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDrtpJqqPl
"Yeah?" she muttered, still looking at the road. "Why is that?"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGedHdGCs5
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn9l8DC5FH
"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?"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcj2TeLaok

"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."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQq3utpEEH

I rubbed my temples. "How would he know you?"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrEZyqx4x3
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAe1aSjPTX
"I don't know," she muttered, looking at me. "Give me my phone."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR6ZOAVxFR
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzPujCfgvC
I handed it to her and she dialed a number, then waited. When someone answered, she turned on the speaker phone.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWEe2Inat0

"I thought you might call. How are you, Kendall?"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxo6BxIV0O
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7jqyDaqWg
"Fuck you," she hissed.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMGAMvS1cg

"You might want to watch your language," said the stranger. "Is Jude there with you? I know he saw me."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe62WgqsCJ

"Seth?" I said, glancing at Kendall. "What's this about? Why did you need information on her?"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZojvdyl5R3
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcs3ItGyKd
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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVdanjPecp

"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."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wEp5q4szm

Seth spoke quietly into the phone. "Come and find me, fucker."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lnYEqjCyw

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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LePDPg5M3

"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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4OUaaKuL4
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfo7pxBK1C
"Please," she pleaded, shaking her head. "God, I'm sorry. Just help me. I can't lose him. I can't, Jude."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX1o9ts17g
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPGvfvSfwr
"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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37BHQ7zar1

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.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EHu9uHQnL
