Molly slammed a hand-drawn map onto the grease-stained table. "Behold the layout of the Miller residence," she announced. Bill squinted at the parchment. "Why is there a giant dinosaur in the kitchen?" "That is the golden retriever, Bill. Now focus." "He looks menacing," Bill whispered. "He’s a poodle-mix. He’s a marshmallow with a bark," Molly snapped. "The objective is the gift table. High-end Legos, a miniature drone, and possibly a gaming console. It’s a goldmine of plastic and electronics." "Do we get any cake?" Molly stared at him with a look of profound disappointment. "We are professional thieves, not party guests." "I’m just saying, it’s a waste of frosting to leave it behind." "We enter through the patio doors at exactly fourteen hundred hours," Molly continued, ignoring him. "This coincides with the piñata event. The noise and the subsequent sugar-induced riot will provide the perfect cover." "Is it a donkey piñata or a unicorn?" Bill asked. "I don't know and I don't care. While the children are fighting over salt-water taffy, we strike." "How do we get in without being spotted?" Molly reached under the table and produced two massive, neon-orange polyester jumpsuits. "Disguises. We go in as the hired entertainment." Bill poked a suit with a finger. "I can't fit my calves in these. They're too tight." "Your calves are not the tactical priority here, Bill. Stealth is." "Clowns aren't stealthy, Molly. They’re loud and terrifying." "Exactly. We hide in plain sight. We blend into the absurdity of a seven-year-old's birthday party. No one questions a clown carrying a large bag of toys." "What if a kid follows us?" Bill asked. "We have a diversion," Molly said, producing a handful of shiny red balloons. "We offer them a balloon, and they’ll be distracted for at least three minutes." "I want a red balloon too," Bill said. Molly sighed, rubbing her temples. "You are thirty-four years old, Bill." "I like the way they float." "I've also packed the tactical glitter bombs," Molly added. "Why glitter?" "Visual disorientation. It’s impossible to track a thief when your retinas are covered in sparkling pink dust." "That sounds like a nightmare to clean up." "That's the point, Bill. It's psychological warfare." "One last thing," Molly said, her voice turning serious. "The target's father is a semi-professional karate instructor. If he sees you, do not fight him." "I can take him," Bill bragged, flexing a bicep. "You can't even fit into the pants, Bill. Just run." "I still think we should check for dip," Bill muttered. "Just put on the suit," she groaned. "And for the love of God, don't try to make balloon animals. You’ll pop one and alert the perimeter." "I can do a dog," Bill insisted. "Get in the van."
