Molly crouched behind the bouncy castle, binoculars pressed to her face, watching the chaos of forty sugar-crazed children swarming the backyard like tiny, frosting-covered locusts. "The presents are by the gazebo," she whispered, adjusting her ridiculous clown disguise. "Stacked higher than last year's bank job." Bill, squeezed into a foam dinosaur costume that smelled faintly of someone else's regret, nodded grimly. He'd lost a rock-paper-scissors match for this, and the indignity stung worse than the polyester chafing his thighs. The plan was elegant in its simplicity. Molly would distract the parents with a balloon-animal demonstration so spectacularly incompetent that no responsible adult could look away. Meanwhile, Bill would waddle toward the gift mountain, scoop the booty into his hollowed-out dinosaur belly, and lumber to the getaway minivan parked suspiciously close to the swing set. What they hadn't accounted for was Timmy, the birthday boy, a seven-year-old with the dead-eyed stare of a seasoned interrogator and an unsettling knowledge of his present inventory. Bill reached for a glittery gift bag. Timmy materialized beside him, arms crossed. "That's not a real dinosaur," the child announced with cold certainty. Bill froze, sweat pooling in his foam snout, his entire criminal career flashing before his eyes, undone by a boy in a paper hat.
