Molly and Bill crouch behind a rosebush near the garden gate. Streamers flutter above them in the moonlight. Molly: "Check the address on the invitation again, Bill." Bill: "Second house on the left, bright pink balloons out front." Molly: "Perfect. Kids down the block distracted by pinata." Bill: "Time to don our disguises and snatch those presents." Molly: "You got balloons? We need decoys for our getaway." Bill: "I’ve got five red ones tied to my belt." Molly: "Brilliant. Parents always watch kids, never clowns." Bill: "I’m the quiet clown. You’re the one with jokes." Molly: "I’ll crack jokes at the cake table distraction." Bill: "I'll slip past twisting streamers and reach the gifts." Molly: "Keep your glove on. No fingerprints on the wrapping." Bill: "My gloves are neon to match my shoes." Molly: "Make me laugh while I disable the security keypad." Bill: "Ha! Code hack successful. Table unlocked in five." Molly: "Grab the big purple box with the gold bow." Bill: "I’m stuffing it into my magic bag." Molly: "Parents heading our way, hurry!" Bill: "On my mark we dash swiftly through the garden." Molly: "We vanish like birthday candles in a gust." Bill: "Operation Gift Grab's a success!"
