Molly stared at the blueprints spread across the hood of the rusted van. Bill leaned against the bumper, chewing on a toothpick. The sun beat down on the pavement, baking the asphalt until it shimmered in the heat. Dust motes danced in the air around them. Molly smoothed the wrinkled paper with a sharp fingernail. She traced the route with her finger. "This is insane," Bill said, wiping sweat from his forehead. "It is not insane," Molly replied, tapping the paper with a manicured nail. "It is a birthday party at the community center. Easy in, easy out." "Easy out?" Bill raised an eyebrow, squinting against the glare. "There are forty toddlers and three overprotective mothers." "We have the distraction," Molly said, folding the map carefully. "The piñata?" "The piñata," she confirmed. "We rig it to drop the candy early. Chaos ensues. We grab the pile." "The pile?" Bill laughed, a dry, nervous sound. "You mean the unwrapped gifts?" "Exactly. We load them into the duffel bags." "What about the parents?" "They will be too busy stopping the sugar rush to notice us." Bill shook his head slowly. "Molly, this feels wrong. Stealing from children?" "It is not stealing," she argued, crossing her arms. "It is redistribution." "Redistribution?" "From the rich kids to us." "We are not rich," Bill pointed out. "We could be," Molly countered. "Think of the resale value on those LEGO sets." "Do you hear yourself?" "I hear profit." Bill sighed, looking at the sky. "What is the exit strategy?" "Back door," Molly said. "Through the kitchen." "The kitchen?" "Yes. The cake is there." "Are we eating the cake?" "Maybe." "This is getting weird." "Focus, Bill. We go in at four PM." "When the music is loud." "Precisely." "And the costumes?" "We wear the clown outfits." "Clowns?" "They blend in." "Nobody likes clowns." "Exactly. They ignore them." Bill rubbed his temples. "I hate this plan." "But you love the money." "I love the money." "Then we have a deal?" "We have a deal." Molly rolled up the blueprints. "Meet me at the van in ten." "Ten," Bill agreed. "Do not be late." "I am never late." "You were late last time." "That was traffic." "It was a parking lot." "Details." "Get in the van." "Fine." Molly opened the driver's side door. Bill climbed into the passenger seat. The engine roared to life. "One more thing," Bill said. "What?" "If we get caught?" "We run." "To where?" "The clown car." "That is a joke." "It is a van." "Right." "Drive." "Okay."
