The dim light of the single bulb flickered over the blueprints, which were actually a series of frantic, colorful crayon drawings on the back of a dinosaur-themed coloring book. Molly traced the perimeter of the living room with a sharpened pencil, her eyes narrowed in a look of professional, life-or-death intensity. The target was a suburban ranch-style house, currently under siege by twelve sugar-crazed six-year-olds. To an outsider, it looked like a standard weekend afternoon, but to Molly, it was a high-security fortress. "The perimeter is soft," Molly whispered, tapping a red circle around the snack table. "Too soft," Bill replied. "The bouncy castle provides too much cover for the host." "Ignore the castle. We focus on the gifts under the dining table. We need to be ghosts, Bill. Invisible, silent, and smell-free." "What about the toddler in the sticky pajamas?" "He is a wildcard," Molly said. "Avoid his path at all costs." "I will try, but I cannot promise I won't get distracted by the cupcakes," Bill muttered. Molly ignored him, pointing her pencil at a cluster of brightly wrapped boxes. The haul was legendary. They were looking at high-end building blocks, remote-controlled drones, and potentially a handheld gaming console. It was the score of a lifetime, provided they did not get caught by a frantic mother armed with a juice box or a lukewarm chicken nugget. Every box represented a potential payday, a way out of their current life of low-stakes petty theft. "We move during the Piñata distraction," Molly instructed. "The chaos could be overwhelming," Bill cautioned. "The sugar rush is a variable we cannot control." "It is the only way. Once the donkey breaks, we sweep the hallway." "And if the birthday boy sees us?" "Then you deploy the distraction." Bill reached into his tactical vest and pulled out a small, crinkly plastic bottle. "The bubble solution?" he asked. "Exactly. Pop some bubbles and keep him occupied while I bag the Lego sets." Bill sighed, staring at the crayon-drawn living room. "I feel like a criminal, Molly." "You are a criminal, Bill. Now, grab the bags." He nodded, though his eyes wandered to a stray blue crayon. He picked it up and began shading in the bouncy castle with grim determination. Molly watched him, wondering if she could have picked a partner who was not so easily distracted by the allure of coloring within the lines. The heist was set. Tomorrow, they would strike the most dangerous crowd in the tri-state area: a group of children who had just discovered the magic of chocolate cake.
