At precisely two o’clock, Molly unfolded a crayon map across the bonnet of their getaway ice-cream van. The target, Bunty Wilkins’s seventh birthday party, occupied a garden behind three inflatable unicorns and a grandmother guarding the gate with military suspicion. “We enter through the bouncy castle,” Molly whispered. Bill studied the map, which was mostly purple spirals and a surprisingly accurate drawing of the grandmother’s moustache. “Disguised as what, exactly? Children? We both have mortgages and suspicious knees.” Molly tapped a suitcase containing two capes, a wand, and seventeen metres of emergency bunting. “Magicians.” “Unemployed?” Beyond the hedge, children shrieked around a mountain of presents: robots, bicycles, enormous bears, and one box large enough to contain either a dollhouse or a regional manager. Molly calculated resale value while Bill calculated whether the pink cape made his shoulders look authoritative. Their plan was simple. Perform six dreadful tricks, release a smoke bomb, load the gifts into the van, and escape before anyone requested balloon animals. At the gate, the grandmother narrowed her eyes. Bill produced the wand. It immediately fired a plastic dove into his mouth. Molly smiled professionally, shoved him forward, and hoped children still respected showmanship over basic competence today.
