Molly smoothed the crumpled napkin on the diner table, her eyes scanning the scribbled floor plan with intense focus. “So, the target is the Smith residence. Full house. Saturday afternoon.” Bill stirred his coffee, watching the liquid swirl in the ceramic mug. “What exactly is the payload, Molly? We need specifics before we commit.” “Everything under the tree. Legos, dolls, gift cards, the works. We clear the room completely.” “Are we sure about this? It’s a children’s party. It feels… low.” “It’s not low, Bill. It’s high yield. Kids don’t know the value of things until it’s gone.” “What’s the security situation? I assume there’s a perimeter guard.” “One dog. A golden retriever named Buster. He’s friendly, but he barks at strangers.” “We’ll need a distraction. A treat? A toy? Something to keep him busy.” “A tennis ball. I have a tennis ball in the glovebox. It’s perfect.” “Perfect. A tennis ball is non-lethal and effective. I like it.” “What about the parents? They’re the real threat to the operation.” “They’re at the buffet. They won’t notice until the wrapping paper is gone.” “And the exit strategy? How do we leave without being seen by the neighbors.” “Back window. Open. They’re too busy cutting cake to check the perimeter.” Bill frowned, leaning back in the vinyl booth. “This feels wrong. Stealing from kids is risky.” “It feels profitable. Do you want the Ferrari or do you want the guilt?” “I want the Ferrari. I need the payments. The insurance is due.” “Then stop worrying and start packing. We move fast. We move clean.” Molly slid a black duffel bag across the sticky table. “Inside are the tools. Wire cutters, lock picks, and a slingshot.” “A slingshot? Really? For a heist of this magnitude? That seems excessive.” “For the dog. We don’t hurt him. We just… redirect him to the yard.” “Right. Redirect. Got it. No harm to the dog. That’s the rule.” “Timing is everything. The cake cutting is at three. We strike at three-oh-five.” “Why five minutes after? Why not immediately? Isn’t that risky.” “Everyone is distracted by the sugar rush. It’s the chaos window.” “Brilliant. I love the chaos window. It’s undetectable. No one looks.” “Just don’t take the stuffed bear. It’s too big. We can’t fit it in the getaway van.” “What if the kid cries? That’s a liability. That draws attention.” “Then he cries. We’re professionals, Bill. We don’t get attached to the merchandise.” “Okay. One bear left behind. Noted. That’s a hard rule. No bear.” “And leave the gift cards. Too traceable. Just take the cash. Keep it simple.” “Cash is good. Cash is quiet. Cash is king. I like cash.” “Exactly. Now, do you have the van? Is it ready to roll.” “It’s parked around the corner. Unmarked. Grey. Very grey. No logos.” “Grey is good. Grey is invisible. No one looks at a grey van. Perfect.” “I painted over the bumper stickers myself. It’s blank. Just like a ghost.” “Good man. Alright, any last questions before we roll out.” “What if there’s a piñata? Is that considered loot? Is it worth it.” Molly sighed, rubbing her temples. “We leave the piñata. It’s too messy. Candy is low value.” “Understood. Low value candy. High value toys. Got it. We skip the candy.” “That’s the spirit. We move at noon. Dress code is casual. No masks. Just… subtle.” “Subtle. Like ninjas, but softer. Like accountants. I can be subtle.” “Like ninjas who sell insurance. That’s the vibe. That’s the look.” “I can do that. I look trustworthy. People trust me. I look nice.” “You look like you’d buy a timeshare. Perfect. That’s the look. That’s it.” “Then let’s go get those presents. Let’s make it happen. Let’s go.” “Let’s go get those presents. The Ferrari awaits. The money is ours.”
