Molly spread the crayon blueprint across the bonnet of their getaway van, a vehicle disguised as a mobile petting zoo. Unfortunately, neither thief had remembered animals, so Bill had filled the cages with potatoes wearing paper ears. “You distract the clown; I’ll infiltrate wearing his emergency trousers.” Bill studied the community hall. Through its windows, sugar-powered children ricocheted between balloons while parents guarded a mountain of presents beside the cake. The cake itself resembled a pink castle under siege by gummy bears. “Fine, but I refuse to honk. Honking compromises professional dignity.” Their plan required Molly to enter through the kitchen, replace the magician, perform three convincing miracles, then wheel every gift outside beneath a tablecloth. Bill would release the potato herd as a diversion and pretend surprise when nobody chased it. At precisely three, Molly discovered the kitchen window was painted on. Bill discovered the clown was his dentist. Both discoveries weakened morale. Then the birthday child opened the hall door, inspected their moustaches, and hired them as entertainers. Ten minutes later, Molly was juggling potatoes, Bill was trapped in a balloon giraffe, and the presents remained untouched. Crime had once again been defeated by steady employment and cake.
