The sun beat down on the pristine lawn of the Oakridge Community Center, where a pastel banner reading “Bella’s 6th Birthday!” fluttered in the breeze. Inside, shrieks of joy mingled with the sound of popping balloons. Molly and Bill crouched behind a giant, inflatable unicorn, studying the scene through binoculars. “That’s the haul, right there,” Molly whispered, her gaze fixed on a mountain of gaily-wrapped gifts by the punch bowl. “We’re talking remote-control dinosaurs, art kits, at least three oversized plushies. The motherlode.” Bill adjusted his own binoculars, frowning. “The risks are enormous, Molly. The clown is a potential wildcard, and I count seven supervising adults. Plus, the cake hasn’t been cut yet. The gift-opening ceremony is the key moment.” “It’s a chaos window,” Molly insisted. “Everyone’s distracted by sugar and frosting. You create a diversion near the bouncy castle—I’m thinking a staged tumble—and I’ll execute the snatch-and-grab.” “A tumble? My knees! Can’t we just… ask for leftovers?” “Bill, we are not *asking*. We are *professionals*.” She clapped his shoulder. “Trust me. We’ll be gone with the goods before anyone sings the last verse of ‘Happy Birthday.’”
