The late afternoon sun hung low over the suburban street, casting long shadows across the manicured lawns where colorful balloons tethered to mailboxes fluttered in the gentle breeze. Neighbors were busy with chores, oblivious to the pair watching from a dented white van parked curb-side. Molly said, "Okay, Bill, we need to hit the party at exactly 3 p.m., when the clown is doing balloon animals." Bill nodded, his eyes flicking to the digital watch on his wrist, confirming the timing as he adjusted the fake mustache tucked in his pocket. Bill said, "Got it. I'll sneak in through the service entrance, disguise myself as a parent with a fake mustache." Molly glanced at the printed floor plan tucked on her lap, tracing the route to the backyard where the service door lay hidden behind a row of hedges. Molly said, "Remember, the presents are stacked near the cake table; we’ll use the distraction of the piñata smash." A cheerful clown in a rainbow wig was already inflating bright animals, his laughter echoing as children gathered, eyes wide with anticipation. Bill said, "I’ll bring the sack, you handle the laser pointer to keep the kids occupied." From her coat pocket, Molly slipped a small red laser pointer onto her palm, testing its beam against the sidewalk, the dot dancing playfully. Molly said, "If any parent asks, we’re just helping with cleanup." Bill hefted the canvas sack, feeling its weight, and slipped a folded note inside that read 'Thank you!' in case anyone questioned their presence. Bill said, "And we split the loot 50/50, no arguments." Molly produced a compact EMP device from her belt, its surface matte black, and explained how it would neutralize the backyard security camera for a brief window. Molly said, "We’ll also need to disable the security camera near the back door; I’ve got a little EMP device that’ll fry it for ten seconds, enough time to grab the loot." Bill’s eyebrows rose, impressed, as he glanced at the device, then scanned the perimeter for any motion sensors that might trigger an alarm. Bill said, "Sounds good, but we should have a backup plan if the kids start crying; maybe we can offer them candy from our own stash to keep them quiet while we work." From a hidden compartment in the van, Molly produced a bag of assorted gummy bears, shaking it gently to produce a sweet rattling sound. Molly said, "Let’s move now, folks quickly." They slipped out of the van, closing the doors with a click, and crept toward the house, staying low behind the garden gnomes. The scent of birthday cake and frosting drifted on the warm air, mingling with the hum of a lawnmower. Molly signaled Bill to take the left flank while she covered the right, their movements practiced, each step measured to avoid porch boards. As they reached the service door, Bill glanced at his watch, confirming they were on schedule for the moment the clown would launch the piñata.
