"Alright Molly, I've been casing this place for a week. We hit during the kid's party. The parents will be distracted, and no one expects a heist at a toddler's birthday bash." Bill explained, spreading blueprints on the coffee table. Molly leaned in, her short, spiky black hair tickling his arm as she studied the layout. "How many presents are we looking at?

Bill watched her expertly extract a phone number from the father of the birthday boy before turning and sauntering back to the van. "Wow, you're a real charmer." Molly rolled her eyes. "Just get the castle up and quit hitting on me." As they set up, Molly worked the crowd like a
