Step-by-step explanation:
In the short story "The Last Spin" by Evan Hunter (also known as Ed McBain), Tigo and Danny are members of rival street gangs. They are brought together and forced to meet by an older gang member named "Big Al." The purpose of their meeting is to play a deadly game of Russian roulette.
Big Al intends for Tigo and Danny to resolve their ongoing conflict and rivalry through this high-stakes game. The idea is that whoever survives the game will determine which gang will control the territory, effectively settling the dispute in a brutal and final manner
The meeting is meant to force a resolution and potentially end the violence between the two gangs, but it does so in a highly dangerous and dramatic way. The story explores the intense psychological and emotional pressure placed on Tigo and Danny as they face a life-or-death decision and the grim consequences of their actions.
