Molly unrolled the blue construction paper on the hood of their rusted, dented getaway sedan. It was a layout of seven year old Timmy’s backyard, drawn in mismatched scented markers. Bill leaned closer, squinting through his cracked glasses. He held a half eaten lollipop like a cigar. "Is the cherry scent distracting, Molly?" "It represents the danger zone, Bill. Focus on the bouncy castle." "The inflatable death trap. What is the play?" "We bypass the slide entirely. It is a choke point." "And the clown? He has balloon animals, Molly. They could be rigged." Molly tapped a green glitter circle labeled 'Gifts Table' which sat adjacent to a cooler of juice boxes. The heist stakes were incredibly high. There were rumors of a Lego Death Star and three toy helicopters. Their loot was worth dozens of dollars on the playground black market. "We strike during the cake cutting," Molly whispered, her dark eyes gleaming with pure, unchecked criminal ambition. "That is when their sugar depleted guard is completely down." "But the sugar rush, Molly. If they eat the frosting, they will hunt us like wolves." "We have exactly four minutes before the sugar induced hysteria begins." "Do we have the code words ready?" "Affirmative. Cobra means go, Juicebox means retreat, and Pinata means scatter." "What does bubble wrap mean?" "It means you stepped on the packaging, you idiot." Bill nodded gravely, adjusting his black tactical turtleneck. He reached deep into his canvas duffel bag and pulled out their highly specialized burglary tools. He carefully lined up three juice pouches, a container of plastic bubbles, and a fake mustache on the car hood. "Is the disguise absolutely necessary?" Bill asked, gesturing helplessly at the mustache's sticky adhesive backing. "You want to get recognized by a bunch of second graders?" Molly scoffed loudly, crossing her thin arms defensively. "If they identify us, our playground credibility is ruined forever. Put it on your nose." "It tickles." "Deal with it. Now, about the escape route." "We scale the chain link fence by the sandbox." "Negative. Mrs. Higgins next door has a miniature poodle. It barked at a leaf yesterday." "So we use the trampoline?" "Exactly. One good bounce and we clear the hedge with the Lego box." A nearby school bell rang, signaling the rapid approach of the zero hour. Molly checked her cartoon digital watch. They could hear the faint, discordant sound of kazoo music drifting over the neighborhood fences, a siren song of plastic treasures. "This is it. No turning back," Bill muttered nervously, swallowing incredibly hard as he secured the fake mustache. "Are you getting cold feet over a seven year old?" "No, I forgot my allergy medicine. If I sneeze near that dog, the jig is up." "Take a deep breath and remember the prize. We are talking major Lego power." Molly smiled, grabbing her plastic bubble blower sidearm. They slipped out of the sedan, moving low through the dandelions, two shadow operatives ready to execute the ultimate backyard birthday extraction.
