To organize your book, Molly and Bill, two career thieves, developed a system to carefully outline their crimes. They created murky blueprints to ensure they left no stone unturned in the planning stage. The Plan-Cooling-Off tactic ensured that Molly and Bill could strategize in their minds for at least an hour before making any major decisions or digging into their plans. Molly had a photographic memory: she could read a book once and recite it verbatim later on, no notes allowed. She was eager to go through the blueprints, rundown the mission, and tell Bill what he needed to know for the next upcoming heist. Bill had next to no memory; he would lose fifty words in a book and read a single paragraph five or six times, only to forget it, even with all the notes. But Nonetheless, Bill was a faster runner and better shot than Molly, so she would cut him some slack. No matter how well they planned, even veteran thieves like Bill and Molly could run into unanticipated issues. For those situations, they incorporated a Plan B to every mission. What seemed like a running joke between Molly and Bill to cajole their symbiotic local giant spider, Mitosis, was actually there to help Molly and Bill in future situations. When Mitosis entered into their lives, they quickly figured out that it played well into their multitude of possible contingencies. Now, each heist had a 70% strategy plan and a 30% Plan B. Mitosis was rather forgetful and would have made a forgetful companion, but despite its imperfections, it was a perfect friend. There was just something about its unpredictability that lured Molly and Bill to include it in their planning. Because they almost always had a toilet handy, left their doors unlocked, and provided the most amazing peanut butter sandwiches, they never had a loss surrounding Mitosis. Recently, Molly had got wind of a local super-rich benefactor throwing a massive party for his underprivileged youth philanthropy gift circle. The guest list was heavily monitored and protected. The mansions in the gigantastical neighborhood were filled with riches so unimaginably real that Mortals would never think of the bounty contained inside of their walls. It was perfect: Molly, Bill, and their ultra-predictable spider, Mitosis, would steal all the presents and even the jackpot of the stolen goody bag: a small container of liquid happiness which advertised itself as "thinking" and held the cure for PTSD. Nobody ever got presents like this. All three thieves turned their fully fledged attention to the antagonistic children. Taking the USG (Uncle Spangled Genius) party house into consideration, the three unruly thieving devils planned out what could go right — and more evidently — what could go badly for them. Simultaneously, Molly, Bill, and Mitosis planned for each of the seven possibilities with a main outline of how the events would transpire, but only a fraction of each section, as necessary. Plan A: Stealthily take out one present without any alarm being set off. Plan B: If stepped upon, flee with the dying ripples of the party. Plan C: If cornered, "accidental injuries occur". Plan D: Attempt escape; if cornered, attempt a sleeper strike to delay time to acquire reinforcements. Plan E: Call in smoke response; make it out safe with their hides. Plan F: If Plan E backfires, attempt alternative communication route. Finally, Plan G: While attempting to position the spider for a deadly strike and ease in, make a catastrophic decision such as military penetrative bombardment abduct Mitch... usually the Plan G corresponds with a necessity for a totally unexpected Plan H. This is detail from a single cog in the intricate Scheherazadian web of heist planning won’t blow up in their face. "Maybe it'll all work out," said Molly with a wink. In the back of their minds, Molly and Bill knew they had done wrong, but sometimes Miss Lucifer had to pay the bills and earn a crust to finish up the game. "Life is a game and money runs out when you miss your turn. We've got to keep thinking of fast moves and being able to watch the most silent pin move, strike. Ouch. And my ear, uh Katie Knuckles said we even said 'I get lucky with a drug den and all of a sudden we're the "queen of FBI hearts" ; something nobody has been able to figure out yet' and we're still beating 'em."
