Molly squeezed her eyes shut, imagining the chaos that awaited them. "Alright, so we've got the kiddie musical mess hall, the bounce house mayhem, and the candy-cane corridor. Where do we make our move?" Bill sipped his lukewarm coffee, responding with a smirk, "I've got my eyes on the nativity scene. Nice, inconspicuous cover. You know, for a former pastor." A chuckle escaped Molly's lips as she shook her head. "You and your drama. Focus, partner. We steal the presents, we get out, they never know what hit 'em." "Just like the great pillow fort heist last year," Bill mused, his grin widening. "Except without the part where we got caught and had to smuggle a toddler out in a laundry basket," Molly added dryly. Bill's laughter echoed through the dark alley, muffled by the pattering rain. "Classic moment, though. Now, are you ready to get our hands dirty?" Molly's eyes flashed with anticipation. "Born ready." With that, they switched gears, moving swiftly through the damp backstreets, their destination in sight. Little did they know, the… ### …nascent party inside was already on high alert. A child's panicked whisper had set off a chain reaction of fear and suspicion; their foe, a highly tuned sense of conspiratorial senses that only youth could provide. "Mommy, I think I saw two strangers peeking through the window!" Little Timmy's announcement had sealed their fate. Party-goers sprang into action, negotiating the maze of wriggling bodies, grasping fingers, and cascading confetti. Amidst the pandemonium, our intrepid duo closed in, preparing to sweep in and snatch the gifts before they could be snatched. "That's when you get the presents, and I draw off their attention with my unmatched poker face," Bill whispered, his hands already filled with precious loot. "Like a charm," Molly agreed, executing a swift remains of the plan. Exiting stealth mode, they ran, helter-skelter, into the stormy night, laughter and cries of pursuit fading into the distance. Double-crossing the clock tower, they disappeared into the shadows, presents in tow, never to be caught. The perfect heist.
