I wanted
Gato to come
with us
because I was
convinced
that nothing
bad could ever
happen to him.
And that meant
that if I was
with him,
I’d be safe,
too.
We had to wait for Gato to finish his
game. Then we headed off, towards Plaza de
España. The store was in a street nearby.
I’d better get those
games later...
Gabi: you stay here.
If you see the pigs
coming, signal to
Gato.
And you, Gato:
wait beside the
door and keep
people out.
I saw Joaquín pull a knife out before
going through the door.
Tárraga passed
by the store a
couple of times.
They didn’t go in
until they were sure
there were no
customers inside.
