Molly spread the crayon map across the table, knocking Bill’s teacup into a bowl of glitter beside them without noticing. “Molly, why is the vault shaped like a bouncy castle?” “Because it’s a bouncy castle, Bill. The presents are underneath.” “Underneath children?” “Underneath a platform. Children would be morally complicated and terribly noisy.” “What’s our disguise?” “Magicians.” “You know magic?” “I can make us disappear when the parents discover the sausage rolls are gone.” “We’re stealing presents, not catering.” “A professional maintains flexibility.” “What about the clown?” “Neutralize him.” “How?” “Compliment his shoes. Clowns receive so little sincere feedback.” “And the children?” “We announce a treasure hunt in the garden.” “What treasure?” “Your watch.” “My watch?” “You’ve always said it needed an adventure.” “I said a battery.” “Same emotional category.” “How do we escape?” “In the cake van.” “There’s a cake van?” “There will be after you paint ‘Cake Van’ on our wheelbarrow.” “That has one wheel.” “Fewer tires to identify.” “Molly, this plan depends on children being gullible.” “They believe rabbits deliver chocolate. We’re fine.” “And if they catch us?” “We cry.” “Why would that help?” “Adults panic when magicians cry.” “That’s absurd.” “Excellent. You finally understand the plan.”
