The neon glow of the birthday banner swayed slightly in the evening breeze as Molly and Bill crouched behind a bush. Bill squinted at the pile of brightly wrapped gifts, sizing them up like a football player eyeing a rival's end zone. “This is it, Molly. Operation Kidnap the Kid’s Loot is a go,” Bill whispered, a grin spreading across his face. Molly rolled her eyes. “Seriously? That’s the best name you could come up with? It sounds like a kindergarten art project.” “Hey, it’s catchy! And you have to admit, it’s got flair,” he shot back, puffing out his chest. “Look at all that wrapping paper! It’s a goldmine!” She peeked over the bush again, her jaw dropping at the sight of a giant rainbow unicorn piñata hanging overhead. “And what about that?” Bill chuckled. “Party distraction! We smash that, and the kids will scatter like cockroaches.” “You mean the parents!” Molly corrected, unable to hide her smirk. “Same difference,” he shrugged with a wink. “Ready for this?” Molly adjusted her mask. “Just remember, we’re thieves, not monsters. Stealing toys from kids? Totally uncool!” Bill patted her back, grinning. “It’s just until we get to the candy!”
