Standard protocol at any child’s party under eight. Where else would they hide twenty wrapped boxes?” “They might be under the snack table,” Molly said, lowering the binoculars. “Near the punch bowl. That’s classic misdirection.” “Punch is a decoy,” Bill said gravely. “Always a decoy. The real treasure is inside that rainbow donkey with feathers.” Molly sighed. “I bet you packed glitter bombs again.” “Non-negotiable. Kids love glitter. So do we when it blinds the clown.” “You realize clowns are now unionized, right? They have health benefits and everything.” “Then we offer a counter-proposal: half the loot, full immunity.” Molly rolled her eyes. “You can’t negotiate with clowns, Bill. Last time you tried, you ended up with a squirting flower up your nose.” “That was a tactical surrender.” “And this,” Molly gestured toward the yard full of giggling children, “is a warzone.” “A warzone with cupcakes,” Bill corrected. “Which means full tactical gear. I’ve got streamers in my sleeves and a whoopee cushion on standby.” “You know the drill. In, grab the pinata, out before cake time. No touching the diaper stash.” “Wouldn’t dream of it,” Bill whispered. “Those are biological weapons."
