Molly tapped the crayon drawing of the house, tracing the lines with a manicured fingernail. She pointed at a large square near the back door. "The target is a seven year old named Timmy. High value assets include a remote control car and a suspiciously large box wrapped in dinosaur paper." Bill squinted at the messy blueprint, rubbing his chin as he tried to decipher the childish scribbles. "What about security?" "Minimal. One exhausted mother, a father hiding in the garage, and a clown named Bozo who is currently going through a messy divorce." Bill crossed his arms, clearly skeptical of the clown threat. He shifted his weight from one foot to the other. "Can the sad clown fight?" "He cries if you pop his balloon animals. We breach at two pm during the musical chairs distraction." "Musical chairs. Right. Do I need to bring my lockpicks?" Molly shook her head, rolling up the blueprint and stuffing it into her leather jacket pocket. "No, the back door is unlocked because they are expecting a petting zoo. We slip in through the kitchen, bypass the juice box station, and hit the living room." "What if a kid sees us?" "You tell them you are the assistant to the magician. Kids believe anything if you hold a wand." Bill patted his empty pockets, frowning at the lack of magical props. He let out a long, frustrated sigh. "I do not have a wand." "Then grab a celery stick from the veggie tray and wave it confidently. Now, the extraction route. We go out the front door." "The front door? That is suicide. The neighbors will see us carrying a mountain of Lego sets." Molly smiled, pulling a folded purple fabric from her duffel bag and tossing it onto the table. She patted the fuzzy material. "That is why we use the decoy. You will be wearing a mascot costume." "I am not wearing a mascot costume, Molly. I have dignity." "It is a giant purple hippo, Bill. Dignity left this partnership when we robbed that mattress store." Bill picked up the heavy mascot head, sniffing the mesh opening with visible disgust. He dropped it back onto the table. "Fine. But if the hippo head smells like sweat, I am dropping the loot." "You will carry the loot in the hippo belly pouch. I will drive the minivan." "Why do we need a minivan?" "Because a minivan parked outside a kids party is invisible. It is the ultimate stealth vehicle." "What if the parents offer us cake?" "We decline. Cake slows down the getaway." "What if it is rich, dark chocolate?" "Grab a slice for the road, but do not linger. This is a smash and grab, Bill. We are in and out before the pinata breaks." "I hate pinatas. They are basically weaponized candy." "Focus. We secure the dinosaur box, load the hippo, and vanish. Any questions?" "Just one. What if the remote control car is already opened?" "Then we steal the alkaline batteries. Now put on your purple pants and let us go."
