Molly spread the crayon blueprint across the café table, pinning each corner with stolen sugar shakers. The birthday venue resembled a fortress designed by clowns: balloon archways, glitter cannons, and one grandmother stationed beside the gift mountain with the cold vigilance of a prison warden. “We enter disguised as magicians,” Molly whispered. Bill frowned. “I only know one trick.” “Which one?” “Tax fraud.” Molly tapped the drawing. Their target was a towering heap of presents wrapped in dinosaurs, unicorns, and suspiciously expensive foil. To reach it, they would cross the cupcake corridor, evade three toddlers armed with sticky hands, and neutralize the family dog, Captain Sprinkles. Outside, a van shaped like an ice cream cone waited, engine running. Inside, every surface smelled of vanilla and poor decisions. “Plan B?” Bill asked. “Become the entertainment.” Bill stared through the window. A dozen children ricocheted around the hall while a sweating father tried to extinguish a piñata. “That seems dangerous.” “Coward.” They entered wearing capes fashioned from curtains. Molly released a puff of smoke. Bill pulled a sausage from his sleeve. Captain Sprinkles applauded by barking, then chased him into the cake. During the chaos, Molly reached the presents. Every box contained socks. She sighed, grabbed two cupcakes, and retired immediately.
