The van’s engine hummed like a contented sloth as Molly flipped through the stolen floor plans, the glow of her phone casting eerie shadows on the blueprints of the party venue. The building—a squat, pastel-colored monstrosity called *Little Dreamers Daycare & Balloon Emporium*—squatted at the end of a dead-end street, its windows like blank, watching eyes. Inside, unknown to the horrendous magician currently terrorizing five-year-olds with a “spooky” bunny trick, lay riches: plastic ponies, stuffed dinosaurs, remote-control race cars, and at least one diabolically marketed *My Little Bot* that probably screamed if you didn't respond to its “hug protocols.” Bill, sprawled across the back seat with a half-eaten burrito, wiped salsa off his wrist and gestured with the foil wrapper. “So let’s agree—no clowns are harmed in the making of this heist. I drew the line at clowns after that fiasco in Phoenix.” Molly didn’t look up. “Too late. I already told you—no violence, emotional or otherwise. The plan is silent. Stealthy. Like a spider.” She finally glanced at him, her dark eyes sharp beneath a fringe of bangs. “Or a sugar-free gummy worm.” “Great. So I’m a gummy worm. Real flattering.” Bill tossed the burrito wrapper onto the dashboard. “The motion sensors are gonna pick us up the second we step through the side gate. I saw the setup—those things are set to go off like firecrackers if anything crosses the petunias.” Molly tapped the floor plan with a fingernail. “Petunias can eat a bag of dicks. We’re not going near the petunias.” She leaned forward, pointing. “Service entrance. Rear door. They’re upgrading the HVAC today, so the back corridor’s got ‘Out of Service’ tape, motion lights disabled, and enough ambient noise to swallow a trombone.” Bill groaned. “So we’re breaking in *during* a repair job? That’s like robbing a fortune-teller while she’s mid-shamanic scream.” “Exactly. Distraction perfect for infiltration.” She pocketed the papers and reached for the duffel bag at her feet. “I got us digi-gloves—silent, heat-resistant, and they make your hands look like they’re coated in wet guacamole, which should bore any cameras to death. We go in at midnight sharp. The magician’s encore is always the ‘disappearing’ trick—kids lose their minds, staff rushes to help find the bunny, panic ensues. We’ve got a three-minute window to clear the goodies from under the crawl spaces and bounce.” Bill sighed, rubbing his temples. “And what’s the exit strategy?” Molly tossed him a zip-lock containing two pills. “Upgraded earplugs. One for you, one for me. One shot of air horn. If any kid starts crying, we’re gone. No audiences. No witnesses. No holy hell.”
