Molly crouched behind the hedge, binoculars trained on the bouncy castle as if it were a maximum-security vault. Beside her, Bill unfolded a hand-drawn map labeled "Operation Cupcake," complete with stick figures and an alarming number of frosting stains. He had spent forty minutes on it and was, frankly, proud. The target was a sixth birthday party for a child named Timothy, whose parents had committed the grievous error of posting the gift table online. Forty-seven wrapped presents glittered in the afternoon sun, guarded only by a clown named Mr. Sprinkles and a folding table groaning under its load. "We go in through the piñata," Bill whispered. Molly stared at him. The piñata was a paper donkey suspended from an oak branch. It was not, by any reasonable metric, an entry point. She returned to surveilling the perimeter, noting the buffet of juice boxes, the territorial grandmother, and the dog wearing a party hat. Their plan, such as it was, hinged on disguising themselves as entertainers. Molly had a balloon-animal kit. Bill had a tuba, for reasons he refused to explain. Together they looked less like criminals and more like a circus that had been fired. "This is foolproof," he insisted. It was not.
