Behind the florist's van, Molly unfolded a crayon-smeared invitation like it was the crown jewels. Bill wore a velvet cape borrowed from an unfortunate nightclub hypnotist, and every time the wind lifted it, he looked less criminal mastermind than startled bat. Across the street, a suburban garden blazed with paper crowns, shrieking children, and a banner announcing HUGO IS SIX, which Bill considered lax operational security. Molly studied the fence, the gate, and the golden retriever stationed by the sausage rolls. It had the patient eyes of a guard who accepted biscuits as bribes and fools as entertainment all day. “Molly, this is the easiest score in London: balloons, cake, no fingerprints because of the icing.” “Bill, you're describing a bakery, not a burglary, and I refuse to be outwitted by a clown again.” “Focus. We go in as magicians, distract the parents, liberate the presents, and vanish before the piñata starts singing.” “The piñata doesn't sing.” “At children's parties, everything sings eventually. That's how they break your spirit.” “And if someone asks for a trick?” “I'll make twelve toy dinosaurs disappear into our sack. Traditional close-up magic.” “Fine, but if there's a bouncy castle, I'm claiming hazard pay, Bill.”
