In the dimly lit back alley, Molly and Bill huddled under the flickering light of a flickering streetlamp. Molly, with her braided hair and a mischievous sparkle in her eyes, checked her watch. "Five more minutes until the kids are done with their opening presents," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Bill, dressed in a worn-out hoodie and jeans, adjusted his ear buds, which were tuned to a radio tuned to static. "And then, we'll have the perfect distraction," he whispered back. Molly nodded, her gaze drifting to the small window of the adjacent building. "You sure about this, Bill? It's not like we've ever stolen from a kids' party before." Bill chuckled, "Molly, darling, where's your sense of adventure? Besides, it's not like we're stealing toys. We're just helping Santa out a little early." Molly rolled her eyes but couldn't suppress a smile. "And you think that wouldn't freak out the parents?" Bill shrugged, "Well, they'll think it's a prank, right? Or maybe a naughty elf got a little too excited. Either way, it's not like we're causing any real harm." Molly sighed, "Fine, fine. But if the cops show up, I'm blaming you." Bill laughed, "Always the responsible one, Molly. That's why I love you." Molly gave him a playful punch on the arm. "Don't get too comfortable. I could still outsmart you if I wanted to." Bill grinned, "Now that, I wouldn't want to see." He checked his watch again, "Alright, let's do this." Molly nodded, and with a final glance at the window, they moved, slipping into the shadows, ready to make their move. The alley was quiet, the only sound the distant hum of traffic. They emerged from the shadows, their breath fogging in the cool night air. As they approached the window, Molly held up her hand. "Wait here," she whispered. She pulled out a small, intricate lock-pick set and began to work. "Just a bit more, just a bit more..." Bill watched, his heart pounding in his chest. The window slid open with a soft click. Molly turned to him, a grin spreading across her face. "Alright, Bill. Let's go rob a party." Bill laughed, and with a nod, they stepped inside, ready to make their move.
