then," he said. "Let's finish this."

Chapter 10
    The cops were still not there by the time we left. What were they going to think, finding an almost empty building with a bloody body in it? Whatever. It didn't matter. We would deal with them when this was all over.  
    And when would that be? His smiling face appeared in my mind. Venom. It would all be over when we took care of him, and wiped that stupid grin off his mouth.
    And we couldn't do that until I led the way.
    How many times had they taken me down this path? I had been blindfolded, gagged, a bag was pulled over my head. But there was one thing they couldn't stop me from noticing. The road.
    As Asher drove, I could feel it in my body. The way the earth slanted. The bumps, the pothole that made us jerk and fly into the air for just a second. I remembered it all. The road was my map. It was all I needed.
    Once I was scared. Once being taken down this path was the most frightening thing I'd experienced. But now the road was going to help me.  
    I closed my eyes. It was easier than I had even imagined. As I felt the way, I pointed out the turns. Left. Right. Straight ahead.
    Even without signposts, I knew exactly where I was going. I held onto Asher. Leaning my head against his back, I could hear his heartbeat. It thudded against his body. He must have known what was coming.
    It wasn't until we finally reached that I opened my eyes. And what I saw were bikers. Tons of them. The Tarantulas' club house looked like it was motorcycle club moving day.
    Everyone was out. They loaded trucks, emptying the clubhouse before the cops arrived. When we pulled up, everyone stared. They dropped what they were doing and focused on us.
    I took a deep breath. We were insanely outnumbered. There was no way this was happening. What was I thinking? That we could take on the whole club on our own?
    "Venom!" Asher yelled.
    Until now, Venom had only been sitting, looking at us. While all of the other Tarantulas looked ready to pounce, he observed. When Asher called him out, a smile spread across his face.
    What was he, crazy?
    Venom got off of his bike and walked closer to us. He stopped before he got too close, and there was a wide gap between us.
    "Wild," he said.
    "Let's quit the chit chat," Asher said. "Tell your men to stand down. This is between you and me ."
    "And why should I?" Venom asked. "Why shouldn't I just have them squash you and your girlfriend like the little vermin you are?"
    Asher smiled. "Oh, are you afraid you can't take me one on one? It's easy to hide behind your little brigade, isn't it?"
    Venom snarled and brought his gun out. He pointed it at Asher.
    "I should just shoot you right-"
    The words were barely out of his mouth when we all heard the gunshot. I screamed. Had he shot Asher? Did we come all this way for that ?
    No.  
    Asher was fine. He had a gun in his hand and his finger pulled down on the trigger. Had he?
    I looked back at Venom. He held his head in his hand. His ear. It was bleeding .
    "You might want to put that gun away," Asher said. "I think we all know which one of us is the better shot. After all, you tried to kill me twice and didn't succeed."
    Venom spit on the ground and brought his gun back up, cocking it in preparation.
    "Fuck you!" he yelled.
    "Uh, uh, uh," Asher said. He came closer to Venom, practically daring him to do something. "Drop it or next time it won't be your ear."
    Venom continued to hold his gun. He looked at Asher as if he was trying to call his bluff. Well, he must have realized Asher wasn't bluffing, because Venom finally dropped the gun. Still, Asher didn't let him out of his sight until Venom kicked the gun away.
    "Good," he said. "Now, let's settle this mano-a-mano . You versus me. No weapons. Just good old fashioned unarmed combat."
    Asher walked around, spreading his arms wide so that everyone could see that he had nothing up his sleeves.
    "Since I only have one hand to use, it should be an even fight."
    Venom narrowed his
