Molly crouched behind the hedge, studying the bungalow’s garden. Bill wore a caterpillar costume, whose antennae sagged over his eyebrows. Beyond the fence, children shrieked around a magician, while presents glittered beneath a gazebo. “Remember, no scaring anyone,” Molly whispered. “We take the gifts, not the guests.” “I know. I brought soothing stickers for emergencies.” “You brought a crowbar disguised as a balloon sword?” “It’s festive burglary.” “The parents are in the kitchen. We slip through the side gate, load the van, and vanish before cake.” “What about the magician?” “Distract him.” “With what?” “Ask him to make your criminal record disappear.” Bill adjusted his green tail. “If he can, I’ll tip him.” A child spotted them and pointed. “We’re entertainment,” Molly said brightly. “Then entertain,” Bill muttered. Molly vaulted the gate and landed beside the present table. “Bill, begin the distraction before they notice.” The children clustered expectantly. Bill followed, raising his balloon sword. “Observe! Molly will make these presents disappear.” “That’s not the trick,” Molly hissed. “It is now.” The children applauded as they grabbed boxes, gift bags, and a suspiciously heavy toy drum. “The drum holds my tools,” Bill said. By the time the magician noticed, the thieves were fleeing toward their van, pursued by three toddlers demanding encores.
