Bill tapped his pen nervously against the stack of construction paper, the bright colours doing little to lighten his mood. "Are you sure about this, Molly? A children's party?" Molly, sprawled on the floor meticulously studying a blueprint, didn't even look up. "Relax, will you? It's fool proof. We hit them during the magician act, maximum distraction, minimum security." "Minimum security meaning a couple of sleep deprived parents hopped up on sugar and caffeine?" "Precisely! They'll be easy to avoid," Molly said, finally looking up, a glint in her eyes. "Besides, have you ever seen the kind of loot these rich kids get? We're talking diamond-encrusted rocking horses, Bill. Diamond encrusted!" Bill grunted, unconvinced. "What are we, toddlers? We're going to pawn a diamond-encrusted rocking horse?" "We'll fence it, obviously," Molly said with an eye roll. "And think of the sheer audacity. The newspapers will have a field day! 'Master Thieves Target Tiny Tots and their Treasures!'" Bill winced. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves with the headlines, yeah?" Molly ignored him and continued, her voice taking on a theatrical tone. "'Sources say the perpetrators, disguised as beloved children's entertainers, performed a series of dazzling distractions before absconding with the precious gifts!'" "We're not going disguised as clowns, Molly." "Cowboys?" "Absolutely not." Molly sighed dramatically. "You have no sense of flair, Bill. Fine, no costumes. But it will be grand! We'll be legends!" "Legends who hit a six-year-old's birthday party." "Details, details. Just focus on your part." Molly pointed to a scribble on the blueprint. "You'll be on cake duty. Make sure every parent is properly distracted with frosting and fondant while I handle the gift table." "So, I'm basically playing a glorified babysitter while you do the actual thieving?" "Don't be like that, it will be fun! Think of all the adorable little cupcakes..." "I'm starting to think you're more interested in the cake than the loot." Molly grinned cheekily. "Maybe just a little."
