"Alright, Molly, this is the break we're been waiting for," Bill said, rubbing his hands together as he leaned over the crumpled map on their kitchen table. "A whole room full of rich kids and distracted parents—what could go wrong?" "Everything, you idiot," Molly replied, stabbing a finger at the sketch of the mansion's layout. "That's exactly why we strike early, before the cake cutting and the magician shows up. They print those invitations on thick stock for a reason, and I've got the perfect knockoff already printed. 'Happy Birthday, Little Timmy'—no one will check past the glitter." Bill chuckled, shaking his head. "Glitter'll give us away if some kid decides to hug Santa Claus's lap and we're not even dressed like elves. We go in as balloon animal clowns instead." "Clowns smell like regret and bad cheese," Molly shot back, wrinkling her nose. "Uniforms or bust. I'm thinking birthday party vendors—cap and apron. We've got ten minutes to clear the present table before Timmy's dad notices all the iPads and gaming headsets aren't under the tree anymore. You still got that fake receipt?" "Printed it last night," Bill said, pulling a crumpled paper from his jacket. "Says all these presents are being 're-gifted' to charity. The handwriting's so sloppy it looks like a seven-year-old did it." Molly snorted. "That'll fool nobody past the first question, but by the time they ask, we'll be loading the van. You carry the big box, I take the lightweight stuff. If any brat starts crying, you distract with balloon animals while I swipe the hard drives." "Balloon animals? Again with the balloons?" Bill protested, throwing his hands up. "Last time your nephew nearly popped one in the getaway car and we had to pull over for fifteen minutes!" "Calm down," Molly said, smirking. "This time the van's parked in the alley behind the kitchen. We pop the side door, shove the loot in, and we're gone before the piñata even bursts." Bill traced the map again, tapping the ballroom marked with crayon. "Okay, and when the magicians start pulling rabbits out of hats, that's our cue to disappear. The kids'll be screaming and the parents'll be too busy filming to notice anything but their own Instagram likes." "Exactly," Molly agreed, folding the map. "We hit the gift table at 3:45 sharp. That's when the magician's assistant is busy tying blindfolds on the birthday boy. You lift from the left, I'll take the right, and we meet back at the van in four minutes flat." "Four minutes?" Bill echoed, raising an eyebrow. "That's ambitious, even for us. What if someone notices the presents walking out the door?" "Then you crack a joke about the presents being too heavy for 'donations' and bolt," Molly said. "Nobody questions a clown with a sense of humor." Bill sighed but nodded. "Fine. We go in, we grab, we go out. Just don't let any kid tattle on us because you forgot to smile at them." "I smile plenty when there's money involved," Molly replied with a grin. "Now hand me that fake clipboard. We've got a birthday party to crash."
