The sun beat down on the suburban cul-de-sac, turning the manicured lawns into shimmering mirrors of suburban mediocrity. Molly adjusted her floral sun hat, its wide brim doing little to hide the intense glitter of her lockpick set tucked into her waistband. Beside her, Bill was sweating through a ridiculously bright yellow mascot costume that smelled faintly of mothballs and despair. He looked significantly less like a beloved party entertainer and significantly more like a giant, neon warnings sign for local law enforcement. They crouched behind a decorative hedge, watching a clown struggle with a tangled knot of balloon animals near the front door. Are you sure about this, Molly? It feels like we are losing our touch. Molly rolled her eyes, checking her watch. We are not losing our touch, Bill. We are diversifying our portfolio. There is a mountain of high-end loot behind that door, and most of it is still in the boxes. It is the perfect crime. It is a birthday party for a six-year-old. Someone is definitely going to cry. Let them cry, Bill. Tears are just the soundtrack of a successful acquisition. Do you have the grab-bags ready? I have two extra-large contractor bags and a fake mustache I found in the pocket of this suit. I do not think I have ever felt this ridiculous in my entire criminal career. Focus. The clown will be moving to the backyard in three minutes. That gives us a window to breach the foyer, secure the table, and exit through the side gate. Keep your head down and try not to trip over your oversized shoes. I am in a bright yellow bird suit, Molly. Subtle is not really on the menu today. A loud, screeching laugh erupted from the yard as a group of children stampeded toward the fountain. Molly signaled for Bill to follow as she crept along the perimeter of the house, her boots silent on the neatly kept mulch. They reached the side door, which had been left slightly ajar to let the summer breeze displace the smell of cheap frosting. Molly peeked inside. The living room was a pristine gallery of wrapped gifts, bows, and expensive toys piled high on a mahogany table. It was beautiful, in a tacky, glittery sort of way. See? It is practically gift-wrapped for us. Get the bags out. I still feel like a monster. What if there is a remote control car in there? Then we sell it on the secondary market and buy ourselves a nice dinner. Stop being sentimental. Grab the bags and move. They slipped inside, the air-conditioned foyer a sudden relief against the stifling afternoon heat. Molly began sweeping the presents into the bags with practiced precision, her movements fluid and rhythmic. Bill stood guard, looking like a deranged canary, nervously swaying his oversized head toward the door every time a lawnmower hummed in the distance. The haul was heavier than expected, but the soft thud of boxes meeting bag was the only music Molly needed.
