"Check the blueprints," Molly whispered, slapping a crayon drawing onto the table. Molly adjusted her tactical eyepatch, adorned with a stubborn glittery star sticker. She traced a grease-stained finger over the waxy schematic, brow furrowed like a general besieging a sandwich factory, while Bill meticulously sharpened a candy cane to a lethal point. Bill squinted. "Is that a bouncy castle or a tactical inflation device?" "It's the perimeter defense, Bill. Little Timmy's sixth birthday is a fortress. We go in during the cake distraction." "Cake distraction?" "Sugar crash window is four minutes. Parents wipe frosting off the dog. We hit the gift table." "The gift table is guarded." "By whom? The clown?" "Worse. Grandma. She's got eyes like a hawk and a purse full of hard candies she throws like shrapnel." Molly groaned. "I hate the elderly demographic. Unpredictable reach. What about the piñata?" "Decoy. Filled with organic raisins. The kids will riot, drawing security away from the LEGO Death Star." "The Death Star is the package?" "Four thousand pieces. Street value is astronomical. Plus, a remote-controlled dinosaur that bites." "I want the dinosaur." "Focus, Molly! We're professionals. We don't keep the loot. We fence the loot." "I can fence a biting dinosaur to my nephew." "Your nephew is three. He'll lose a finger." "He has nine left. Risk assessment says go. What's the extraction route?" "The ball pit." "The ball pit? That's a biohazard zone. Last time I dove in, I found a half-eaten juice box and a lost soul." "Connects to the laundry chute. We slide out, land in the minivan, and vanish before the magician pulls the rabbit." "Wait. The magician. Is he union?" "Freelance. But he's got a wand that shoots sparks. Could be a concealed weapon." "Great. Grandma's candy shrapnel, a raisin riot, a spark-wielding wizard, and a biohazard extraction. All for plastic bricks and a biting lizard." "And the goody bags." "The goody bags?" "Filled with glow sticks and temporary tattoos. High margin, low weight." "You had me at glow sticks. I love glowing in the dark. Makes me feel stealthy." "You glow, you're not stealthy, Molly." "Details. What's the dress code?" "We're the entertainment. I'm booking us as 'The Balloon Twisters of Doom.'" "I can't twist balloons. I only twist ankles." "You'll learn. Pop them aggressively. Kids love destruction. Just don't pop the bouncy castle. That's our cover." "If things go south, I'm using the dinosaur as a shield." "Agreed. Gear up. Whoopee cushions for silent movement and a juice box garrote." "Juice box garrote? Really?" "Apple flavor. It stings the eyes. Let's roll. Little Timmy won't know what hit him." "Timmy's going to cry." "Timmy's getting a life lesson about asset security. Now, practice your balloon dog. You look constipated."
