Molly adjusted her neon pink tutu and squinted at the blueprints spread across the dashboard of the rusted van. The floor was littered with glitter and discarded juice boxes. Bill sat in the driver seat, meticulously attaching a fake mustache to his upper lip with chewing gum. He looked less like a master criminal and more like a confused walrus. Are you sure the inflatable obstacle course is the weak point, Bill? It is the only way to bypass the laser grid of tethered balloons, Molly. But the itinerary says the birthday boy is six. Can a six-year-old really afford a high-end security system? You would be surprised by the budget for these suburban princess-themed bashes. They looked out the windshield at the backyard sanctuary. Three dozen kids were currently shrieking in a chaotic frenzy of sugar-induced delirium. A pile of glitter-wrapped loot sat unguarded near a folding table. The perimeter guard is a golden retriever wearing a tiara. Is that going to be an issue? Dogs are simple creatures, Bill. Just toss him a stray cupcake and he will abandon his post immediately. Fair enough. What about the parents? They are currently engaged in a heated debate about organic kale chips. They will not notice us if we stay low and pretend to be part of the entertainment staff. I hate wearing these oversized clown shoes. They make it impossible to execute a silent tactical roll. Stop complaining. You look festive. Are you ready to execute Operation Sugarplum? I am ready. Do we have the reinforced pillowcases for the haul? Yes. I have them hidden under this ridiculous cape. Make sure you grab the boxes that rattle the loudest. Those are the ones with the high-end electronics. Understood. What is our exit strategy if the clown shows up for his shift? We hit him with the bag of confetti and flee through the hedge maze. That seems unnecessarily dramatic, but I like the theatrics. Let us do this, Molly. Wait, check your mustache one more time. It is peeling off near the corner of your mouth. Dash it all. Hand me the backup gum. Molly tossed him a piece of bubblicious. She checked her watch and took a deep breath. The target was ripe for the picking, and the children were far too distracted by a magical show involving bubbles to notice two adults lurking in the shadows of the bounce house. Grab your cape, Bill. It is time to liberate those toys from the clutches of childhood. Roger that. If we are back in the van within three minutes, we can make it to the taco stand before they close. Ambition is the mark of a true professional. They climbed out of the van. Bill tripped over his clown shoes, stumbled into a hydrangea bush, and accidentally initiated a somersault. Molly rolled her eyes and marched toward the glittery pile, her tulle skirt rustling with the quiet promise of grand larceny.
