Molly adjusted the red wig over her hair as she studied the blueprints spread across the kitchen table. "Okay, we've got our entry points. Bill, you'll take the north side door. I'll go in through the ventilation shaft on the roof." Bill scratched at his bushy white beard, his eyes narrowing as he pored over the plans. "I don't like it, Molly. That's a tight squeeze for a man my size. What if I get stuck?" "You won't get stuck, Bill. You've been doing yoga for years, haven't you? Flexibility is key here."

It's just a big empty table!" "What? Where are they?" "I don't know! I thought you were the one with the plan!" Molly cursed under her breath. "Okay, okay. Look around. They have to be somewhere." There was a long pause before Bill's voice came through again. "Oh shit.
