Bill spread the crayon-drawn map across the kitchen table. He pointed a trembling finger at a circle labeled The Cake Zone. "The perimeter is guarded by six toddlers and a very aggressive Golden Retriever," Bill whispered. Molly leaned in, squinting at the drawing. "Why are the guards drawn as stick figures with giant heads?" "Artistic license, Molly. Focus. The target is the living room pile. We are looking at approximately forty wrapped boxes of LEGOs and a high-end motorized scooter." "A scooter? This isn't a party, it's a windfall," Molly said. "What's the entry point?" "The sliding glass door. It’s unlocked, but there is a strategic hazard: a bubble machine." Molly frowned. "A bubble machine? How is that a hazard?" "Visibility, Molly! The iridescent spheres create a refractive glare. We could be blinded by the whimsy." "You are taking this way too seriously," Molly sighed. "I'll just walk in, tell them I'm the hired balloon artist, and scoop the goods while they're distracted by the magician." "The magician is a professional," Bill countered. "He uses misdirection. He could swipe the loot before we even hit the foyer." "He’s a guy in a sequined vest who can't find a rabbit in a hat, Bill. He's not a threat." "That's exactly what he wants you to think. Now, regarding the uniforms. I’ve sourced two oversized clown suits. Neon yellow." Molly stared at the shimmering polyester fabric. "Absolutely not. I am not wearing a ruffle collar to commit a felony." "It's the perfect camouflage! Who suspects a clown? They are invisible in these environments." "I look like a radioactive lemon in this," she said, holding the suit with two fingers. "Can't we just wear black turtlenecks?" "And stand out against the primary-colored wallpaper? You're an amateur." Molly tossed the suit back onto the table. "Fine. But if I get sticky jam on my boots, I'm cutting you out of the LEGO dividend." "Deal. Now, let's discuss the extraction. I’ve rented a wagon. We load the presents, I pull, you provide cover fire with the party poppers." "Party poppers? We're stealing toys, not storming the beaches of Normandy." "Psychological warfare, Molly. The sudden pop disorients the children, creating a window of opportunity for a swift retreat to the getaway minivan." "You're insane," Molly said, though she began pulling on the yellow suit. "What time is the cake?" "Three o'clock. That's when the chaos peaks." "Perfect," Molly grinned. "I've always wanted to rob a five-year-old."
