Molly adjusted her oversized Mickey Mouse ears and glared at the blueprint spread out on the van dashboard. The faded upholstery smelled like old french fries and lingering desperation. Outside, the hot afternoon sun beat down on the pristine suburban driveway of their target. Bill was in the back, wrestling with a brightly colored, slightly terrifying clown suit that was two sizes too small. "Tell me again why we couldn't wait until they went on vacation," Bill grumbled. "Because, Billy boy, rich people leave their kids right here. And where the kids are, the loot is too." "It is a birthday party, Molly. They are all six." "Six-year-olds get iPads and cold hard cash. Now zip up the polka dots." Bill finally wrestled the suit over his broad shoulders and snapped the tight collar. The red nose squeaked annoyingly as he scratched his face. He joined Molly in the front seat, peering at the hand-drawn map of the backyard. It showed a bouncy castle, a snack table, and a guarded treasure chest of gifts near the sliding glass door. "Who drew this map? A toddler?" Bill asked. "The sitter did. The dog is their guard poodle. Vicious." "A poodle. We are taking down a fortress guarded by a poodle." "Don't underestimate Fluffy. Our window is during the magic show. We slip in through the side gate, grab the presents, and stuff them in the van." "What if a kid sees us?" "Give them a balloon. They forget everything immediately." Bill pulled a tube of thick white greasepaint from the glovebox, smearing it across his cheeks to transform himself from a hardened criminal into a tragic circus performer. Molly folded the blueprint and grabbed a large sack decorated with smiley faces. It was the most ridiculous loot bag in the history of larceny, but it was padded for expensive electronics. "If anyone asks, I'm entertaining and you're my assistant," Molly instructed. "I'm the one dressed like a clown!" "Exactly. Nobody trusts a clown. They trust Mickey Mouse." "This is insane. We are going to get arrested for stealing a Barbie Dreamhouse." "It's a heist, Billy. They retail for three hundred dollars. Are you ready?" "I guess. But if that poodle bites me, you're paying for my shots." Molly checked her watch as the backyard music shifted to a whimsical tune. She opened the van door and stepped into the afternoon heat. The sweet smell of chocolate birthday cake wafted over the tall wooden fence. Bill stumbled out after her, tripping over his oversized red shoes. The red nose squeaked again as he squared his shoulders and prepared for the impending battle against the children. "Let's move out, Bozo," Molly whispered. "Never call me Bozo again." "Just get the loot, Bozo. I'll handle the poodle." "Molly, wait. What if the magic show ends early?" "Then we improvise. We start juggling. We make balloon animals. We do whatever it takes to blend in here." "I don't know how to juggle." "Then run fast."
