Molly leaned against the van, arms crossed, watching Bill wrestle with a half-inflated dinosaur suit. "You look ridiculous," she said. "Feel ridiculous," Bill grunted, shoving his left arm through a tiny foam limb. "But you said we needed a disguise." "I said a disguise, not whatever that is. Is that a T-Rex?" "Triceratops. There's a difference." "Not to a six-year-old. Why a dinosaur at all?" "Kids love dinosaurs. Trust me. This is my fifth kids' party job." "You've done this before?" "More or less." Molly pinched the bridge of her nose. "What's the less?" "May have crashed a few parties uninvited. Excellent free food." "Right. So what's the plan once you're inside the bouncy castle?" "I'm not going in the bouncy castle. The parents are. The kids will be distracted by the magician." "They hired a magician?" "Kid named Marv. He's terrible. Saw him at a rec center last month. Kid couldn't make a coin disappear if his life depended on it." "So while Marv bombs, you waddle in as a dinosaur and what?" "Hand out balloons. Be lovable. Get close to the gift table. Then I signal you by yelling 'Taco Bell'." "Taco Bell." "It's innocuous." "It's insane. Why not 'the eagle has landed'?" "Every heist movie uses that one. Tacos are better." Molly shook her head, checking her watch. "Okay, the party starts in twenty. I'll be parked out back by the fence. You get the gifts to the side gate, I load the van. Thirty seconds tops." "What about the cake?" "What about it?" "I want a slice." "Bill." "Yellow cake with chocolate frosting. I could smell it from the street when we cased the place." "We're not stealing cake." "I'm not stealing it. I'm asking for a slice. Dinosaur suit builds instant rapport." Molly stared at him. "We're professionals." "Professionals who get hungry. And there's going to be a piñata. You don't just skip a piñata." "We're taking the presents and leaving. In and out. Quiet. Clean." "Fine. But if there's extra goodie bags, I'm grabbing two." "One." "Two." "One, Bill. Or I'm leaving you in the suit." Bill finally managed to zip the back of the costume, his face sweaty and flushed. "What's your job again?" "Driver. Lookout. The reason you haven't been caught yet." "Debatable." "You got stuck in a ball pit last month." "That pit was deeper than it looked." Molly opened the driver's side door and climbed in. "Twenty minutes, Bill. Get in, get the gifts, get out. Try not to make any children cry." "No promises." She started the engine. "And Bill?" "Yeah?" "If you yell 'Taco Bell', I'm driving off without you." He waved a tiny foam arm. "You won't. You love me." "I tolerate you." "Same thing. Let's go steal some kids' joy."
