Molly leaned against the brick wall outside the brightly lit house. The sound of laughter and high-pitched squeals drifting from the windows told her the annual children's party was in full swing. She checked her watch - one more hour until they struck. Bill slipped beside her, his face hidden under a cartoon mask. "You know, Molly, I've been wanting to do a children's party job for ages. All that wrapped candy and plastic toys, it's like Christmas every night." Molly smirked. "I'm more looking forward to the look on Mrs. Thompson's face when we're gone. She always seems to think she's too clever for us." "Well," Bill said, adjusting the toolbelt around his waist, "we'll show her she's wrong. You go in through the back, distract everyone with the clown act, and slip the presents into the getaway van. I'll be upstairs, keeping an eye out for any pesky adults." "Got it," Molly said, straightening her flouncy skirt. "Be careful up there, Bill. And remember, no face-painting this time, I don't want to get anything on my gloves." They shared a laugh before Bill disappeared into the darkness. Molly waited a few minutes, then approached the rear of the house. She peeked through the window and saw a crowd of gleeful children clustered around a table piled high with gifts. Perfect. She stepped inside, closed the door behind her, and pulled up her sleeves. The transformation was swift and complete - in an instant, Molly the guest had vanished, replaced by Molly the clown. She took a deep breath, adjusted her oversized shoes, and walked into the room with a wide, cheesy grin. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls," she bellowed, brandishing a bouquet of balloons. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's your lucky day! The one and only, the hilarious, the zany Clown extraordinaire has arrived to make this the best party ever!" The kids cheered as Molly launched into a riotous routine of slapstick humor and juggling, providing the perfect cover for her accomplice upstairs and the disappearance of all those lovely presents. Business as usual for Molly and Bill, the dynamic duo of heists.
