Molly spread the blueprint across the grease-stained table, her eyes narrowing. This is not just a birthday party, Bill. This is a tactical fortress. A fortress? Molly, it is a backyard in the suburbs. There is a bouncy castle and a clown. The clown is a variable, Bill! A wildcard! Does he have contacts? Is he working for the parents? We don't know. He is a man in oversized shoes with a red nose. He is not a double agent. The presents, Bill. Focus on the presents. We are looking at a concentrated hoard of high-value electronics and licensed character merchandise. Is it worth the risk? We are professional thieves. We usually hit jewelry stores, not a five-year-old’s birthday bash. The profit margins on limited edition superhero figurines are astronomical right now. It is a goldmine. A goldmine of plastic and bubblegum. Precisely. Now, the entry point. I am thinking the sliding glass door. Too obvious. The mother will be hovering there like a hawk. We need a diversion. What kind of diversion? A distraction. Something that draws the adults toward the snack table. Like what? A sudden shortage of juice boxes? Exactly. We trigger a minor crisis in the refreshments sector. While they are debating the merits of organic apple juice versus fruit punch, we slip into the gift corner. The gift corner? You mean the pile of brightly wrapped boxes under the patio umbrella? That is the objective. And how do we carry them out? We cannot walk out the front gate carrying three crates of Lego sets and a remote-controlled helicopter. We use the bouncy castle. The bouncy castle? We deflate it, stuff the loot inside, and roll it toward the van. It is the perfect mobile containment unit. That is the most ridiculous plan I have ever heard. I love it. We need disguises, Bill. We cannot go in looking like we are about to rob a bank. Agreed. I will be the disgruntled uncle. You? I am thinking a professional face painter. It gives me an excuse to get close to the targets and provides excellent cover for my nimble fingers. If you try to paint a clown on my face, I am walking out. It will be a subtle design, I promise. Very understated. And the getaway driver? I have already contacted Twitchy Pete. He will be idling in the alleyway, disguised as a delivery man. Is he actually reliable? He is terrified of clowns. That should keep him focused. Molly, this is madness. We are going to get caught by a toddler in a dinosaur costume. Then we will have to bribe him with chocolate, Bill. Now, grab the blueprints. We move at fourteen-hundred hours. Fourteen-hundred. Copy that. I will go find my most intimidating uncle sweater.
