The getaway van, a floral-pattern monstrosity borrowed from someone’s grandma, smelled of sugar and desperation. Molly adjusted her balaclava—knitted, with a pom-pom on top—and studied the crayon-scrawled map. “Okay, Phase One,” she said. “You create a diversion at the ‘Face Painting Fortress.’” Bill, wrestling with a plastic sword from a pirate costume, grunted. “What kind of diversion?” “Balloon animal emergency. A cascade of poodles. They’ll be mesmerized.” “Right. Then you infiltrate the ‘Gift Gauntlet’?” “Precisely. I’ll be disguised as the entertainment—a clown. No one suspects the clown.” “Everyone suspects the clown, Mol.” “Not *this* clown. I’ve got a squirting flower filled with chocolate syrup. It’s a classic misdirect.” She tapped the map’s ‘Piñata Perimeter.’ “Once you’ve neutralized the piñata guard—” “He’s seven.” “A fearsome seven. Once he’s distracted, you loop back and meet me at the ‘Loot Table.’ We load the presents into the Goodie Bag of Holding and exfiltrate via the ball pit.” Bill sighed, a long, weary sound. “All this for a My Little Pony and a bunch of Duplo.” “It’s not about the *value*, Bill. It’s about the score. And I hear little Timmy got a *light-up dinosaur*.” “Fine. But if I get hit with frosting again, I’m retiring.”
