Molly unfolded a crayon map across the dashboard while balloons bobbed above the community hall like cheerful surveillance drones. Bill adjusted his bow tie, which flashed whenever he sneezed. “Remember, we enter disguised as entertainers, locate the presents, and leave before the cake.” “I still think my magician costume is suspicious.” “You’re wearing a cape, Bill. Children trust capes.” “Not after my rabbit incident.” “That rabbit was emotionally complicated.” “It stole my wallet.” “Focus. The presents are beside the bouncy castle.” “The fortress of static.” They crossed the car park carrying an empty trunk labeled AMAZING MOLLY’S EXTREMELY SAFE TIGER. Inside, party music thumped, and thirty children shrieked with industrial enthusiasm. “What if they ask for magic?” “Make something disappear.” “Like the presents?” “Not immediately.” A small girl blocked their path, holding a plastic wand and a severe expression. “Password?” she demanded. Molly smiled brightly. Bill began sweating glitter. “Uh, abracadabra?” “Wrong,” said the girl. Behind her, six children formed ranks, armed with foam swords. The thieves retreated as the bouncy castle disgorged reinforcements. “New plan,” Molly whispered. “Surrender?” “Cake first.” “Then presents?” “No. We steal the recipe.” They fled toward the buffet, pursued by pirates, fairies, and one terrifying toddler dressed as an accountant.
