Molly and Bill schemed in a sandbox shaped like a pirate ship, their mature frames a tight fit among the plastic shovels. The target was a five-year-old's treasure trove of presents, guarded by a bouncy castle and a face-painting station. Molly wore a beekeeper's veil to conceal her identity, though she claimed it was a fashionable net hat. Bill had a squirt gun filled with chocolate syrup to immobilize any adult interference. They reviewed the plan: crawl through the inflatable obstacle course, replace the presents with identical boxes of coal they'd cleverly wrapped, and escape through the cake delivery van before the clown's face-paint toxin wore off. Molly asked, "What if the clown is a cop?" Bill replied, "Our balloons are weapons." She scoffed, "That's ridiculous." He leaned in. "Exactly. Nobody suspects a thing." Her eyes narrowed. "We'll need glitter." Bill handed her a gritty tube of edible shimmer, and they shook on it, a pact sealed with sticky handprints. In the near distance, the birthday song began, and the piñata burst open in a shower of cheap candy and tears, their cue, a perfect diversion. The children shrieked, a sound they ignored. Quietly, they crawled forth, giggling like sugar-drunk miscreants.
