"Get him!" the Spanish Police yelled as I was getting chased for robbery of the largest bank in Spain. I outran and lost them and got to the hotel that I had already booked. I dozed to sleep in the uncomfortable wooden bed and dreamt they had tracked me down and just be waiting until the morning so they could arrest me.
I am Moneybag Giménez! I was Spain's most wanted criminal for robbing banks and that meant all the Police and Security would be looking out for me. I had to have a really good disguise so I dressed up as a woman and they had no clue that it's me.
I rode my horse to the closest gun store, which was on the other side of town. When I was there, I bought a shotgun. I bought the guns so I could fight against the Police during my robberies.
I rode to the north of Spain, which had the second largest bank in Spain but held the most money in the world. After I robbed this bank, I would be the richest man ever known in history.
On the way out of the bank I got caught by the Police and I knew my time was up! They knew I would try to escape the overcrowded prison cells in a bid to be free! Without judge or jury, they led me to gallows because it was the only way they would stop me.
