Molly tapped the crayon map of the suburban backyard. The smell of stale coffee and tactical greasepaint filled the sweltering van. Bill adjusted his black ski mask, though it was eighty degrees outside and sweat pooled on his neck. This was the big score. Little Liam’s sixth birthday party. The stakes were high. "Listen up," Molly said. "We go in at fourteen hundred hours. That's when they cut the cake." Bill scratched his chin under the heavy wool, feeling the fabric scrape. "Right. So I scale the tree and drop behind the bounce house while the candles are lit?" Molly glared at him, shaking her head in sheer disbelief at his foolishness. "No, you imbecile. You walk right through the front gate as the pony." Bill groaned loudly, kicking an empty soda can across the corrugated metal floor of the van. "The pony? I hate the suit. It smells like actual pony. And the hooves give me blisters." She leaned in close, her eyes cold and sharp like a veteran thief assessing him. "It smells like victory. While you distract the hostiles with a slow trot, I hit the table." Bill stared at the crude map, tracing a trembling finger along the winding path. "What about the clown? The guy they hired is ex-SWAT. He does balloons, but his eyes are dead." She meticulously checked the chamber of her neon orange foam dart blaster. "I'll handle the clown. A flashbang in the chip bowl blinds him. You just keep the kids busy." Bill shuddered violently, rubbing a faded scar on his forearm from a toddler encounter. "Six-year-olds are ruthless. If they sense fear, they swarm. I have bite marks from the twins' party." She tossed the blaster casually into her tactical fanny pack, snapping the zipper shut. "Then don't show fear. Once I bag the loot, I signal by popping the balloon. Drop the boxes and we exit." Bill shifted his heavy weight, the rusted suspension of the van groaning loudly under him. "What if the pony head gets stuck on the gate latch again?" Molly grabbed him aggressively by the tight collar of his dark turtleneck sweater. "Leave the head, Bill! We aren't losing the haul over a cheap costume. Those bags have a console, a drone, and gift cards. We're done." He swallowed hard, looking nervously back down at the wrinkled crayon blueprints. "I just thought we were stealing kids' toys to pawn." She released him roughly, smoothing the invisible wrinkles on her sleek leather jacket. "Think bigger. We steal the presents, fence the electronics, and get out of the party game." Bill sighed deeply, reaching for the furry brown mask resting on the dusty dashboard. "Fine. I'll wear the suit. But I'm keeping the saddlebag. It holds my juice boxes." She rolled her eyes dramatically, scanning the quiet suburban street through a pair of binoculars. "Get your mask on. We move in five. No eating the cake. Last time you got frosting on the blocks." He blushed profusely, looking at his scuffed tactical boots in shame. "That was chocolate fudge. It was a moment of weakness." She lowered the binoculars slowly and grabbed her heavy canvas loot bag from the floor. "Focus! The target is moving. I see the minivans. It's go time."
