Molly stared at the blueprints spread across the rusted hood of the old van. It wasn't a bank vault or a diamond exchange. It was a suburban bouncy castle. Bill leaned over, crumbs falling from his sandwich onto the schematic. He chewed thoughtfully, eyes scanning the perimeter. The engine ticked as it cooled, a rhythmic sound against the quiet street. The van smelled of stale coffee and old grease. Molly sighed, rubbing her temples. She looked at the watch on her wrist. The second hand ticked loudly in the silence. Bill frowned, looking at the photo of a smiling toddler. Stealing from children felt wrong, even for them. But rent was due. They loaded the gear. A net gun, a grappling hook, and a bag full of glitter bombs. Molly checked her watch again. They climbed out of the van. The house was decorated with streamers and happy faces. Molly pulled a mask over her face. It was a clown mask. They crept toward the front door. Molly picked the lock with a hairpin. It clicked open. Inside, the smell of frosting hung heavy in the air. A group of toddlers sat on the floor, staring at wrapped boxes. The room was lit by dim, colorful lights. Molly grabbed the first box. It was light. She tossed it to Bill. He caught it and stuffed it into the bag. A parent walked into the room. They froze. The parent smiled. She shoved a bag of stolen candy into the parent’s hands. The parent beamed. They slipped out the back door. They drove away into the night, the bag of presents heavy in the back. The security is tight, Bill said, pointing at a cluster of balloons. Those latex spheres are rigged with pressure sensors. They’re helium, Bill. They float. Exactly. If one pops, the whole alarm system goes off. We need to move fast. The piñata drop is at three. That’s when the distraction happens. What about the parents? They’re the real guards. I’ve disabled their phones. They’ll be too busy posting selfies to notice the loot vanishing. And the kids? They’re the payload. We have ten minutes before the cake arrives. If the cake arrives, the game is over. Because once the sugar hits, nobody leaves. Look at that, Bill whispered. A PS5 and a bike. Don’t get attached. Oh, you’re here early for the entertainment? We brought... presents. That was close, Bill said. Too close. Next time, we hit a wedding. Weddings have better loot.
