The Twist - Episode 26
Odili went to the glass window of his office and looked down the road for the seventeenth time.
The man was still there.
Standing by the lamp post opposite the studio complex and keep on looking at the entrance of the studio from time to time.
His hands were hidden in his coat pockets but Odili knew he had a gun ready in those hidden hands.
The man has been there for the past six hours.
He first spotted him when he left the beach house that morning.
There was something unusual about the man that told him he was a cop.
He was walking leisurely across the beach house when Odili came out of the bungalow and one single stare at the man told him he was a police CID.
Odili had entered his car and drove out.
He made sure he was not followed until he reach the highway and speed the car towards the city center.
He was so surprised to see the same man in front of Hotel celebrity when he arrived the studio complex.
He tried Jack's number once more but he is not picking.
Where the hell is the fool? He tried Billy's number but he is not picking also.
He had instructed them to follow Mark to a lonely road, double cross him, press him to forward another 20 million naira to his numerous foreign accounts in Europe and come back for their cuts.
He haven't seen any alert. Things are getting hot.
The police had been on his trail for sometime now, though they don't have anything to pin on him but they knew his game plans.
Maybe he will leave the country and take a long vacation in Europe until things cool off.
Seeing the detective that morning had cemented his thought about leaving and he had booked the next available flight to Switzerland immediately he entered his office.
He had decided to call Jack to take care of the police man so he will be able to escape.
But since then their number had been ringing without response.
What is keeping them? He looked out of the window again and saw Mark's Range Rover as it stopped in front of his hotel.
Why? The boys must have completed the assignment by now.
Odili checked his phone again but there is no message to notify him the money has been paid.
What is happening? Suddenly the door flew open and a big, strong looking man burst in with a gun.
"Freeze!" Said the man.
Odili was pretty rattled but he managed to keep his face straight.
"Hello officer, what is it? Why the excitement?"
He said and started to walk towards his drawer.
"Don't move!"
Bawled the Detective.
Odili paused and stared at the man.
He was pretty big.
He cannot handle such a fierce cop.
Play it cool boy, play it cool.
He said to himself.
Mark entered the office and the cop turned towards him.
Odili acted swiftly.
He dove for the drawer, threw it open, pulled out a small Lilliput 22.
Pistol and was about to open fire on the cop when something hit him on the chest and flung him over the drawer before he heard the ear deafening bang of the 38

He tried to stand up but his legs seemed to be heavy like a log of wood.
