Molly adjusted her binoculars, staring through the fogged van window at the sunny suburban backyard where colorful balloons drifted in the light breeze. "Target is at ten o'clock, Bill. The bouncy castle is inflating. We have exactly twenty minutes before the cake cutting distracts the parents." Bill took a wet sip from a tiny blue foil pouch of organic juice, his giant yellow mascot feet sticking out into the narrow aisle. "Are we absolutely sure about this, Molly? Stealing toys from a seven year old feels wrong. What about our professional reputation on the streets?" Molly sighed, rolled her eyes, and tapped the plastic dashboard. "Our reputation is already in the toilet. Besides, Tommy’s parents are venture capitalists. The kid won't miss a few gaming consoles." Bill muttered nervously, adjusting his oversized fake feathers. "But what if the hired clown spots us? Clowns have excellent peripheral vision. It is a well known fact." Molly shook her head and checked her gold plated stopwatch. "The clown is a freelancer. He is not going to tackle a giant duck to protect some wrapped cardboard boxes. He just wants to twist balloons into sad dogs." Bill shifted uncomfortably in his seat, the noisy plastic lining making a loud crinkling sound that echoed inside the cramped getaway vehicle. "I'm extremely worried about my own physical limitations. If I drink another delicious juice, my bladder will compromise the tight timeline." Molly rubbed her aching temples in sheer frustration. "Why are you even drinking those? We are on a high stakes heist, not a suburban playdate." "They were resting in the cooler, and I simply love the artificial strawberry explosion flavor of these juice pouches." "Focus. We slip through the hibiscus hedge at exactly twelve fifteen. You walk straight to the gift table, slide the boxes into your giant feather pockets, and toss them over the fence." "Why do I have to be the giant duck? The cheap, synthetic yellow feathers are tickling my nose and making my eyes water." He sniffled loudly, desperately trying to hold back a massive sneeze that threatened to tear through the fabric of his heavy suit. "If I sneeze, I'll blow our entire cover." "Happy ducks do not sneeze, Bill. Pull yourself together, stop sniffing, and act like a highly trained, professional entertainer." "What is the official escape plan if the toddlers decide to attack us?" "Throw a handful of glitter and run. If things get bad, blend into the musical chairs game. No one questions a playing duck. It is a psychological blind spot." "What if I actually win the game? I get ridiculously competitive." "Then you take the prize! Look, the magician is about to pull a rabbit from his hat. All eyes are on the patio. Go!" Bill whispered, slowly grasping the metal door handle of the stolen getaway van. "For the sugar and the glory." Molly smiled grimly, slowly adjusting her tight leather gloves. "For the sweet glorious loot. And do not touch the bouncy castle!"
