"Do we really need the disguises, Molly?" Bill asked, adjusting a massive, shimmering pink bow taped to his forehead. "Yes, Bill. We cannot simply walk into a suburban living room and announce that we are here for the Lego sets," Molly snapped, checking her stopwatch. "I feel like the bow is a bit much. I look like a giant present." "Exactly. It is camouflage. Now, focus. The target is the mahogany table in the foyer. We strike during the cake cutting." "Wait, cake? Is it chocolate? Please tell me it is chocolate." "Focus! The distractions are key. I will release the helium balloons, you grab the bags. We have exactly three minutes before the sugar crash hits and the parents start paying attention to their surroundings." "What about the clown?" Bill whispered, glancing nervously at the house. "The clown is a professional, Bill. He will be too busy making balloon poodles to notice two other professionals making a clean getaway with forty-two wrapped boxes." "What if the kids fight back? I have seen those movies." "They are seven years old, not Navy SEALs." "I saw a kid bite a Golden Retriever once, Molly. They are feral when they are excited." "That is precisely why we have the bribes." "Bribes? Since when do we bribe toddlers?" "Fruit snacks, Bill. High-fructose corn syrup is the currency of the playground. One handful of gummy bears and they will let us walk right out the front door without a second glance." "Can I have some?" "No! These are operational assets. Put your mask on." "I just think we are overthinking it. We could just walk in, say we are the entertainment, and carry the boxes out." "And what entertainment are you, exactly?" "I can do a little dance. I have been practicing." "We are not stealing children's toys via a dance routine. We are operatives. Now, check your watch. The piñata is about to drop." "Is the piñata shaped like something cool?" "It is a donkey, Bill. Now hush. When the candy hits the floor, it is total anarchy. That is our window. That is when we move." "Wait, if we are stealing the presents, do we get to keep the piñata?" "No, the piñata is too bulky. We are going for the high-value electronics and the fancy dollhouses." "I bet there is a remote control car in there. I really want a remote control car." "You are thirty-four years old." "I am a growing boy at heart, Molly. Now let's go, I can hear the Happy Birthday song starting." "On my mark. Three, two, one... go!"
