"You realize we require tactical precision and pastel camouflage," Molly stated, adjusting her neon visor. She measured the carpeted hallway with deliberate steps, checking door clearance. The dim storage room smelled faintly of sugar and desperation. Dust motes danced in the single overhead bulb as they reviewed the floor plan. Bill smoothed grease-stained blueprints across a folding chair. "I have two options. We infiltrate as adult supervision or repackage as the inflatable bouncy castle." "The castle features excellent sightlines but terrible ventilation," she observed, cataloging party favor bags. "They hired a professional magician. Not some guy with rubber chickens." "We go as cupcakes. I secured the frosting kit." "Bill, we are professional thieves. We do not become baked goods." "Molly, we sleep behind a taffy shop. Priorities shift." "Cupcakes it is. I demand red sprinkles. Black makes me look like a felon, though I am one." She unrolled a house schematic over the worktable. Bill peeled adhesive backing from masking tape, aligning exit routes. The tactical team operates on invisible frequencies and synchronized wrist movements. Every second counts when children hold unlimited attention spans. "Noted. Who guards the wrapping paper?" "A Golden Retriever named Snickers. Treats work every time." "We possess three dental chews and a bruised grape. Inadequate." "Desperate times require desperate snacks. What is the prize?" "The entire goodie pile. Tablets, a plush dinosaur, and a LEGO cathedral." "Plastic bricks and salvation. Theology or investment?" "Both. The cake drops at seven. Parents drink wine and give speeches. We slip through the mudroom. Clear the baseboards. Bag the loot." Molly pressed her palm against the front door, monitoring street traffic. Bill fastened a carabiner to his belt, verifying sack tension. Rain began percussion against the windowpane, masking the subtle vibrations of the approaching neighborhood. "What if a child spots us?" "We activate the distraction protocol." "Which is?" "I fall near the piñata." "You execute a controlled stumble into paper while I collect merchandise. Do not compromise my exit vector." "My fall is a masterpiece of misdirection. Parents applaud accidental comedy." "Correct. We exit through the window. We rendezvous at the van." "We park three blocks away. We avoid the carpool." "Obviously. We divide assets. I claim the dinosaur." "Why?" "It matches my scarf. Sentimental attachment." "I take the cathedral. I favor plastic architecture." Molly compressed her duffel bag while Bill inspected trash bag clips. She checked her reflection in the dim hallway mirror. Bill adjusted his powder-blue latex gloves. "Sentimentality complicates inventory management." "Moving day becomes difficult. Dinosaur for me. Cathedral for you. Tablets for me." "Lithium cells?" "Naturally. I require phone power to document the operation." "Do not upload footage. Law enforcement monitors social media. Party organizers track digital footprints." "We go offline. Destroy the disguises. Abandon the frosting. Forget the dog." "Seven o'clock. Cupcake formation. Strike after the final toast." "Molly?" "Yes?" "The red sprinkles complement your gear." "Check your grip tape, Bill."
