Molly crouched behind the hydrangea bush, binoculars trained on the suburban fortress decorated with balloons and crepe-paper streamers. Bill, meanwhile, was attempting to wrestle a clown costume over his considerable belly, the polyester straining against decades of questionable dietary choices. The plan, as Molly had explained it roughly forty times, was elegant in its simplicity: infiltrate the seventh birthday party of one Timothy Pennington, blend in among the parents, and abscond with the towering mountain of wrapped gifts before the candles were even lit. The garden swarmed with sugar-crazed children, their shrieks piercing the afternoon like tiny ungreased hinges. A bouncy castle wobbled ominously. Somewhere, a piñata dangled, awaiting its violent destiny. "This is undignified," Bill grumbled, adjusting his rubber nose. Molly silenced him with a withering glare that could curdle milk at twenty paces. She had spent three weeks casing this operation, studying the parents' arrival patterns, the caterer's schedule, the precise moment the magician arrived to distract the masses with disappearing scarves. Bill honked his nose accidentally, startling a passing toddler. "Stay focused," she hissed. The presents glittered like Christmas itself, beckoning. Molly cracked her knuckles, smiled wickedly, and signaled the advance toward childhood's most poorly defended treasure trove.
