The smell of stale french fries and cheap adhesive tape filled the cramped back of the rusted transit van. Molly adjusted a pair of oversized plastic night vision goggles that were entirely unnecessary for a bright Tuesday afternoon, squinting at a hand drawn blueprint of the suburban house. Beside her on the carpeted floor, Bill was busy trying to peel a sticky green cherry sucker off his corduroy trousers, looking far more concerned with fuzzy lint than grand larceny. He sighed deeply, giving up on the sticky candy and looking up at his intense partner in crime. "We have a three minute window when the magician starts his rabbit act." Molly tapped her squeaky red marker against the blueprint, tracing an intricate path through the living room. Bill frowned and leaned closer to the paper. "Are you absolutely sure? What if he does card tricks instead?" "He won't. My inside contact, who is seven, says the rabbit is the finale." She pointed a sharp, manicured finger at the back patio, where a cheerful cluster of helium balloons drifted very gently in the breeze. "The entire suburban perimeter is heavily fortified." "We face a giant bounce house, lawn sprinklers, and toddlers who will bite." Bill shuddered at those terrifying children, vividly remembering their previous encounter with a sugar crazed toddler during their bakery job. He adjusted the tight black ski mask, which unfortunately had fluffy cartoon puppy ears sewn directly onto the top because it was the single final mask remaining in stock at the suburban party supply store down by the old highway exit ramp. "Do we have any sort of tactical distraction?" "I bought organic juice pouches. If things go sideways, we dump them." "The health nut parents will stampede, creating a beautiful diversion." Bill nodded slowly, deeply impressed by the immense tactical brilliance of the psychological leverage she held over modern parenting anxieties. "That is incredibly devious, but what about the birthday cake?" "Focus. We are here for the toys, not the dairy." Molly hissed, tapping a tiny hand drawn map of the formal dining room where the target gift table was located. "Once I grab the pile, you throw the tactical smoke screen." "Is it an actual tactical smoke bomb?" She reached deep into the pocket of her bulky tactical vest and carefully pulled out a white plastic squeeze bottle. "It is baby powder, but it creates a decent cloud if you squeeze." "I am ready. For honor, glory, and free plastic race cars." Molly rolled her eyes and sighed, looking down at her cheap plastic digital watch. Outside the parked vehicle, the distant, tragic squeak of a wet rubber clown shoe and a terrible accordion rendition of Happy Birthday echoed across the brightly manicured lawn. The perfect target was ripe. She grabbed a giant canvas laundry sack decorated with silver glitter and slid open the squeaky side door of the van, ready to execute the most ridiculous backyard caper of her professional thief career.
