The blueprints were stained with soda pop and glitter glue, a testament to the high-stakes environment of the suburban cul-de-sac. Molly traced the perimeter of the backyard fence with a perfectly manicured fingernail while Bill squinted through a pair of cheap plastic binoculars. Beyond the fence, a professional clown was currently struggling to twist a blue balloon into the shape of a poodle. Molly leaned against the splintered wood, her voice dropping to a gravelly whisper. Is the clown a threat or a distraction, Bill? He is a sentient hazard, Molly, and his shoes are entirely too big for a tactical engagement. I checked the HOA registry, and the birthday boy is six years old, which means we are dealing with high-volume, low-security assets. Six-year-olds are erratic, unpredictable, and prone to sudden, aggressive weeping. They are also easily placated by the promise of more cake, so keep your eyes on the gift pile by the folding table. Those gifts look like they were wrapped by a blindfolded squirrel, but I spot at least three boxes that suggest high-end electronics. Forget the electronics, we are here for the loot bags because those contain the artisanal chocolates the parents hide from the riffraff. You want to prioritize cheap candy over a potential gaming console? I want to prioritize a quick getaway without tripping over a bouncy castle while dragging a literal ton of cardboard boxes. Fine, but if I spot a drone, I am absolutely stealing it out of spite. Just focus on the perimeter, because the mother is heading toward the gate with a tray of juice boxes. She is moving with the speed of a suburbanite who has already had three glasses of cheap champagne. Then we move now while her attention is hijacked by that inflatable slide situation unfolding in the center of the lawn. My knees are too old for obstacle courses. If you do not tuck and roll under the crepe paper streamers, I will leave you to explain your presence to the neighborhood watch. Is the van positioned for a swift exit behind the hedges? The van is idling, though I have decorated the passenger door with streamers to avoid suspicion. That is unexpectedly brilliant, Molly, even for your twisted standards. Save the compliments for when we have the mountain of presents stashed under the floorboards of the getaway vehicle. Agreed, now drop the goggles and let us embrace our destiny as the most feared party crashers in the state. I just hope there is a piñata involved, because I have always wanted to take a swing at one of those paper donkeys. Focus, Bill, because that clown is looking directly at our hiding spot. He is staring because his eyes are painted on, you paranoid amateur. He just blinked, and it was deeply unsettling. Move, before I decide to cut you out of the split entirely. Fine, I am moving, but I am keeping the loot bag if it contains anything strawberry flavored.
