The van smelled of stale coffee and desperation. Molly spread the blueprints across the dashboard, illuminated by a single flickering overhead light. She tapped a red circle drawn around the backyard. The engine idled with a rhythmic clatter in the background. Rain began to tap against the windshield. This is the extraction point, she said, pointing with a grease-stained finger. Bill squinted at the paper, adjusting his beanie. It's a trampoline, Mol. You want us to jump out of a trampoline? No, we jump on it. It launches us over the fence. Simple physics. And the guards? Parents. Parents? Bill leaned back, cracking his knuckles. I thought we were hitting a jewelry store. The payout is better here. High volume, low security. Everyone is distracted by cake. Bill nodded slowly, absorbing the logic. Okay. What about the loot? Everything wrapped in shiny paper goes in the duffel bags. Even the LEGO sets? Especially the LEGOs. Small, high value, easy to fence. Molly rolled her eyes. We aren't fencing LEGOs. We're taking the electronics and the gift cards. What if a kid wakes up? Then we bribe them with candy. Bill admitted he lacked candy. You should have packed candy, Bill. This is a heist, not a robbery. Bill sighed, looking out the window at the suburban street. It feels wrong, stealing from children. It's not stealing. It's redistributing wealth from the squeaky clean to the desperate. That's not how economics works. It is tonight. Molly grabbed her gear bag. Check your silencer. I don't have a silencer. You don't need one. We're not killing anyone. We're just taking the PS5s. Bill agreed about the PS5s. He patted his pocket. I have a bag of gummy bears. Perfect. Put them in the tactical vest. They climbed out of the van, moving silently across the lawn. The house was lit up with balloons. Music drifted through the open window. Molly checked her watch. The tires hissed on the wet pavement. Ready? Molly whispered. As I'll ever be. Remember, if the dog barks, you throw a stick. Got it. They crept toward the back door. Molly picked the lock in three seconds. They slipped inside, dodging a pile of wrapping paper. Look at that, Bill whispered, pointing at a mountain of boxes. It's a goldmine. Grab the top layer. Leave the bottom. We don't want to make it obvious. This is too easy. Don't jinx it. A small voice called out from the hallway. Who's there? Molly froze. Bill dropped a box. Run, she hissed. They bolted for the window, scrambling onto the trampoline. They bounced once, twice, and landed in the neighbor's hydrangeas. The hydrangeas were thick and thorny. We got the loot, Bill panted. We left the LEGOs, Molly groaned. Priorities, Mol. Priorities.
