“Bill, confirm the target.” “The birthday party at Number Twelve. Balloons, cake, presents. Possibly a clown.” “Clowns are unpredictable.” “So are toddlers. We’ll wear disguises.” “As what?” “Magicians.” “We’re thieves, Bill.” “Exactly. Nobody suspects magicians. They’re already carrying suspicious bags.” “What’s the entry plan?” “We arrive during the musical chairs.” “Why?” “Everyone’s distracted, and the chairs provide tactical cover.” “Musical chairs has no tactical cover.” “Not with that attitude.” “Where do we put the presents?” “In the magic trunk.” “The one with the rabbit?” “The rabbit is our lookout.” “Bill, rabbits don’t report.” “This one will. I’m teaching it Morse code.” “Fine. What’s the exit?” “Through the kitchen, past the juice boxes, over the garden fence.” “That fence is waist-high.” “Then it’s a dignified stroll.” “And the children?” “We tell them the presents are being taken to a secret vault.” “They’ll follow us.” “Excellent. Human shield.” “Absolutely not. We are not endangering children.” “Fine. We’ll give them balloons.” “Balloons don’t stop pursuit.” “They do if you tie them to the pursuers.” “Molly, that’s kidnapping.” “Decorative kidnapping.” “New plan: we steal only the wrapping paper.” “That’s not a heist.” “It’s sustainable crime.” “You’re ruining my reputation.” “You have a reputation?” “Among three pigeons and a very disappointed baker.” “Then let’s impress them. We enter, perform one respectable trick, and leave with exactly one present.” “Which one?” “The biggest.” “Finally, a professional plan.” “Bill, why is the clown outside?” “He knows too much.”
