The relentless rain slicked the grimy pavement below, reflecting the faint neon glow of the neighborhood watch yard light against the wet asphalt outside the suburban mansion where the children's party was currently in full swing with laughter. Molly adjusted her synthetic brown wig, realizing it felt more like static cling wrapped securely around her scalp than actual human hair as she watched the door. She peered through the narrow vertical gap in the heavy velvet curtains, squinting hard against the festive string lights wrapping the porcelain railing like decorative electric vines that illuminated the dark backyard beyond. Inside the warm house, the sound of raucous adult laughter and the clatter of plates being stacked on the kitchen counter drifted faintly through the open windows near the back door. Bill leaned heavily against the chain link fence in the pouring rain, shivering violently in a vintage tuxedo that was clearly three sizes too big for his frame. His satin bowtie kept sliding down his chest continuously as he tried to maintain a cool criminal demeanor while checking his digital watch repeatedly in the gloom to ensure they stayed on schedule for the break in. The perimeter is soft, Molly whispered. But the guard dog is the real physical threat here. Bill asked which specific one. Is it the poodle? It is a Basset Hound named Sir Barksalot who sleeps on the leather couch in the center of the living room, she answered confidently. Bill nodded nervously, feeling the cold dampness of the rain soaking into his shoulders despite his formal attire. Molly stepped away from the window to check her wristwatch. Do not underestimate the security of a gift bag. Bill rubbed his temples, looking at the house like it was a dangerous bomb waiting to explode. What if the kids wake up during the cake cutting ceremony? Molly grabbed his lapels with a look of grave seriousness on her face. If they wake up, we tell them it is a magic party where the presents came from benevolent ghosts. Bill sighed deeply at the absurdity of their situation. Do you know how many hours I spent practicing walking on tip-toes? He stared at the dark windows intently. Focus, Bill. The clock strikes nine. That is when the parents start the cake. The sugar crash is the perfect distraction for us to grab the loot quickly. Bill asked if there was a smoke bomb if the cake explodes? Then they would flee with the loot immediately. We meet at the old clock tower in twenty minutes. No exceptions. Bill looked at the front door then at his sister's minivan parked down the street. What is the exit vehicle again? My sister's minivan. She thinks it is a catering truck for some random birthday gig. Right. I am ready to go. You better be. Molly pushed the unlocked front door ajar quietly. If we get caught, we tell the police it was for charity. Charity for who? For me. The world needs more toys. You are insane. I am efficient. Let us begin the heist now.
