The storm arrived with a violence that shook the siding of the house. Bill could not stop shivering, not from the cold, but from the adrenaline. He adjusted his swim cap, which he had bought on sale at Five Below. The cap was blue, but it usually turned green under humidity. He looked at the window, which was open. Molly held the silence, waiting for the intruder. The house was empty of adults, but the kids were inside. Bill walked toward the gate. He did not know how he could get in. He needed a tool. He had one. It was a lighter. The lighter was silver. Bill wore a tuxedo suit, which was torn at the shoulder. Molly wore a suit, which was blue with buttons. They looked like guests, not thieves. The garden was full of spider webs. The webs were sticky. Bill stepped on a twig. It snapped. They were caught. "Is it secure?" Bill asked. Molly checked the perimeter fence. It was carved from wicker, making it look like furniture. "Nailed it," she whispered. "You didn't put a lock on the back door," Bill noted. "Because you didn't tell me the exit route," Molly snapped. "We need the presents. Do you know how hard it is to find hard candy this late at night?" Bill kicked the gate and the lock broke. "We're stealing the candy?" Bill asked. "Yes," Molly said. "That's illegal," Bill said. "It's commerce," Molly replied. "Still illegal, but thrilling." Bill kicked the gate. It opened. "We did it," Bill said. "No," Molly said. "Yes," Bill said. "I mean it," Molly said. The wind blew. The ground shook. Bill ran. Molly ran. They ran. They jumped. They stopped. "We are safe," Bill said. "No," Molly said. "Yes," Bill said. "I mean it," Molly said. "We need to go home," Bill said. "No," Molly said. "Yes," Bill said. "I mean it," Molly said. Bill looked at the gate. The gate was closed. The night was dark. "It's time," Bill said. "No," Molly said. "Okay," Bill said. "Do what?" Molly asked. "Stop," Bill said. "I mean it," Molly said. They stayed quiet. They watched the street. No one was there. "We are ready," Bill said. "Yes," Molly said. They left. They walked away. They were safe. They were thieves. They were friends.
