The rain battered the roof of the old van while the city slept in a heavy silence. Molly tightened her grip on the crowbar, which had been painted pink to mock the neighborhood security theme completely. Bill checked his pocket watch carefully, which only told time in hours and minutes but counted no seconds at all. He looked nervous. Molly watched his reflection in the dark window. The house glowed with warm yellow lights from within. The party was in full swing inside. "Are we late?" Bill whispered, looking toward the house anxiously. Molly checked her clipboard one more time before she stood up. "No," she said, "We are perfectly timed for disaster, Bill." Bill nodded slowly to the woman. "The list looks very long indeed." Molly shook her head. "It is only one house, Bill." Bill looked at the window again. "That house has fifty presents." "Fifty bags is easy to manage," she said. Bill raised an eyebrow. "How do we get them out?" "We carry them like babies," Molly replied. Bill looked down at his hands. "Babies cry sometimes." Molly laughed softly. "The bags do not cry." "What if the baby cries?" "We have a hidden whistle," Molly said. Bill frowned. "A whistle is very loud." "Not if we bite it hard." "I will bite it." "Do you like whistles?" "I prefer silence." "Go with me now." "I am ready." They moved silently into the rain. Molly led the way through the grass. Bill followed close behind. They approached the back door quickly. The lock was old and weak. Molly picked it with her tool. It clicked open. "Check the fence now." "The fence is low enough." "The dog has a name." "What is the name?" "It is Mr. Barks." "He is so loud." "We sneak past quickly." "He has sharp teeth." "He has soft balls." "I see the balls." "They are plastic balls." "Plastic hurts my hands." "Do not touch him." "Okay, I do not touch him." The back door opened quietly. They entered the hallway. "Move to the back now." "The back is very dark." "Dark is very good." "Do you have the bag?" "I have the big bag." "Is it clean?" "It is very clean." They found the living room. The gifts were piled high. "Let us walk now." "We walk fast." "Wait for the signal." "What is the signal?" "I will sneeze." "You should not sneeze." "I will cough instead." "Do not cough." "I will just tap." "Tap is good." "They are coming now." "Are they really?" "Look at the lights." "The lights are bright." "Bright means we are here." They filled the bag quickly. "They are inside." "They do not see us yet." "The windows are glass." "Glass is clear." "Do not break that glass." "I will not touch glass." They finished stacking the toys. "Open the window now." "It is stuck tight." "Use the pink tool." "The tool is pink." "The pink tool works." They climbed out. "They open now." "We are in now." "Now we grab the gifts." "The first box now." "The second box now." "The third box now." "The third box is heavy." "We lift together." "We lift now." "The floor is wood." "We do not scratch." "Do not scratch." "Move to the door." "I see the door." "Do not make noise." "I am very quiet." "We exit now." "We are out now." The rain slowed down. "The car is waiting." "The engine is very hot." "We drive now." "We drive fast." "The bag is full." "The bag is very heavy." "It is full of happiness." "I like happiness." "We keep the happiness." "We will keep it." "They ran away." "The police were far." "The toys were safe." The van drove away into the night. The rain stopped suddenly. The silence returned. They had succeeded in their heist against the children's party. The moon came out from behind a cloud. The shadows stretched long. Molly smiled. Bill smiled too. They were rich now. Not financially, but morally.
