Molly adjusted her black turtleneck, peering through binoculars at the suburban nightmare. Balloons bobbed like very radioactive jellyfish against the twilight sky. Bill checked his watch, sweating through the tactical vest that smelled of stale pizza. “The piñata is the weak point,” Molly whispered. “We need the ladder.” Bill nodded, adjusting his mask. It slipped over his eyes. He pushed it up. The target was a six-year-old’s birthday, a fortress of sugar and cardboard boxes. Security consisted of a bored uncle and a golden retriever named Buster. Molly lowered the optics. The presents sat in a pile, a mountain of wrapped potential. They needed to move fast before the cake was cut. Bill picked the lock on the garden gate. It clicked open with a sound like a dying mouse. “Ready?” Bill asked. “Got the bags?” Molly checked her grappling hook. “Go. Grab the big box now.” They crept quickly across the lawn, avoiding the sprinkler system. Inside, the music thumped. They grabbed the first box. A Lego set. Then another. A dollhouse. The dog barked once, then went back to sleep. They filled the duffel bags, moving like shadows through the chaos. The uncle snoozed on the couch. They escaped into the night, bags heavy with stolen joy.
