"Are you absolutely certain the hired clown is compromised?" Molly leaned over the grease stained blueprints scattered across the hood of their rusted getaway van, tapping a gloved finger against the schematic of the community center. "I paid him off this morning. He will fake a stomach bug precisely as the chocolate fudge cake is cut. That creates our primary diversion window." Bill adjusted his dark aviator sunglasses, checking his wristwatch with a completely serious and grim expression. "And the local event security presence?" Molly frowned and dragged a red marker across the venue map. "Two profoundly bored teenagers monitoring the petting zoo, plus one hypervigilant grandmother stationed by the gift tables. Our infiltration route brings us straight through the indoor ball pit." Bill tapped another section of the complex diagram, his voice steady and low. "The ball pit? Bill, that is professional suicide. Do you know how deep those plastic spheres go? We will lose all foot traction and flounder directly into the line of sight of the roaming toddlers." Molly crossed her arms, staring at her partner with intense and unvarnished skepticism. "I anticipated that specific logistical nightmare. We are wearing modified gripping footwear. Specifically, golf cleats." Bill proudly lifted a foot to display his heavily spiked and brightly polished leather shoes. "Golf cleats inside a toddler ball pit. Brilliant. So we traverse the pit, avoid the crazed sugar children, and then what? How do we bag the loot?" Molly sighed heavily, rubbing her temples to stave off a suddenly blooming headache. "The presents are stacked on a flimsy plastic table next to the juice boxes. I estimate thirty uniquely wrapped targets. We deploy the canvas laundry sacks, prioritize the shiny boxes, and exfiltrate rapidly through the inflatable bouncy castle." He confidently gestured toward a tiny square marked with a crudely drawn bow. "What about the actual birthday boy?" Molly raised one single, highly questioning eyebrow. "Timmy is an unpredictable variable. Last year he bit his uncle. If he spots us securing the package, immediately offer him the designated decoy tablet." Bill slowly pulled the glowing device from his tactical utility belt to demonstrate. "You bought an expensive tablet just to bribe a seven year old child?" "It displays an endlessly looping video of a digitally animated singing hippopotamus. It will neutralize his awareness for exactly three minutes." "Tactical genius. What exactly is the designated time for our initial breach?" Molly nodded slowly, slapping her hands together in preparation. "Fourteen hundred hours exactly. Our strike happens just after the rainbow animal bursts. The resulting pediatric sugar rush will blind every single attendee to our covert movements. We target outsized boxes. Seek the ones rattling like expensive interlocking building blocks. I already promised our fence three untouched starship sets." "I still worry about the grandmother. Has she been effectively neutralized?" "Decaffeinated coffee was covertly swapped into her thermos. She will be soundly asleep in an uncomfortable folding chair by thirteen forty five." "Perfect. Let us go steal some childish joy."
