Molly spread the birthday invitation across the dashboard, flattening it with a gloved hand while Bill peered through binoculars at the community hall. Inside, balloons bobbed like nervous informants, children shrieked around a magician, and a mountain of presents glittered beneath a cardboard castle. “Security consists of one clown, three grandmothers, and a tutu-wearing terrier,” Molly whispered. Bill lowered the binoculars. “That terrier has the eyes of a customs officer.” Their plan required disguises, a forged catering invoice, and twelve cupcakes filled with raspberry jam. The jam served no tactical purpose, but Molly believed every operation needed morale. Bill would enter as Professor Giggles, emergency balloon sculptor. Molly would pose as his silent assistant, because her previous attempt at ventriloquism had ended with a police horse filing a complaint. At precisely three o’clock, the magician would produce a rabbit. During the applause, Bill would twist balloons into a convincing fire alarm while Molly rolled the gifts away in the castle, which they had discovered was mounted on squeaky shopping-cart wheels. They had nearly congratulated themselves when the terrier appeared at Bill’s window, tutu fluttering, invitation clenched in its teeth, and growled with bureaucratic precision. The operation suddenly needed sausages.
