Molly adjusted her binoculars, focusing on the bright green bouncy castle inflating in the backyard of number forty two. Beside her in the cramped sedan, Bill was frantically trying to squeeze his large frame into a neon orange jumpsuit that smelled faintly of cheap plastic and desperation. The suburban sun beat down mercilessly, heating the car to a temperature suitable for baking artisanal sourdough. Across the street, a colorful banner reading Happy Sixth Birthday Leo fluttered cheerfully in the gentle, humid breeze. It was their ultimate suburban target. The greatest treasure trove of unopened toy sets, expensive monster trucks, and crisp paper money tucked inside cards from distant relatives northern Illinois had ever before witnessed. Molly lowered the binoculars and sighed. "Bill, why are you wearing a giant orange jumpsuit?" Bill grunted, pulling the tight zipper over his round belly with a wet squeak. "It is tactical camouflage. If anyone asks, I am the bouncy castle inspector." Molly rubbed her throbbing temple with her index finger, tapping the dashboard clipboard. "You look like a giant carrot. Standard stealth attire was required today." He wiped dripping sweat from his chin, gesturing dramatically toward the sunlit lawn. "In this blazing heat? No. We must blend in with the party chaos." Molly let out a slow breath, realizing she could not win this silly argument. "Fine. But you carry the sack. We have precisely eight minutes when the clown performs. That is our insertion point." Bill shuddered visibly, looking genuinely terrified by the mere thought of professional clowns. "I hate clowns. They do not follow the rules of civilian society." Molly retorted instantly, checking her digital watch against the neighborhood church clock. "He is fifty and underpaid. He will be distracted. The gift table is in the unguarded sunroom." Bill squinted through the passenger window, studying the perimeter fence. "And what about the formidable perimeter defense?" Molly clarified, keeping her eyes glued to the target house. "The mother is dealing with a cupcake crisis. But watch out for the golden retriever." Bill smiled deviously, patting his deep thigh pocket with a heavy hand. "I brought the secret weapon. Smoked gouda. No canine can resist it." Molly nodded, finally feeling a glimmer of hope for their ridiculous scheme. "Perfect. Once the dog is neutralized, bag everything and head for the rear hedge. I will keep the engine running." Bill nodded with immense solemnity, adjusting his cheap plastic collar. He reached into the glove box and pulled out a pair of child sized sunglasses, sliding them onto his nose with an air of absolute gravity. Molly watched him, wondering for the hundredth consecutive time how her glamorous career in grand larceny had devolved from high end art galleries to robbing a first grader. But as she looked back at the mountain of brightly wrapped presents visible through the sunroom window, she smiled. The stakes were low, but the potential yield of pristine plastic blocks was incredibly high. It was finally time to go to work.
