At midnight, Molly and Bill crouched behind the inflatable castle, studying the suburban battlefield. The Hendersons' garden glittered with fairy lights, discarded juice boxes, and a banner announcing PIPPA IS SIX, GOD HELP US ALL. Bill wore a sequined magician's cape, while Molly had disguised herself as a catering assistant carrying a suspiciously heavy piñata. “Molly, the balloons are armed,” Bill whispered. He pointed at a cluster of helium unicorns bobbing above the gift table, each tethered to a tiny motion sensor. Molly inspected the defenses through opera glasses stolen from an actual opera, where she had also stolen a tenor's lunch. “Excellent. Children never suspect a clown with a crowbar,” Molly said. Bill adjusted his rubber nose and glanced toward the patio, where parents swayed around a cheese fountain like exhausted walruses. The presents sat beneath a plastic throne, guarded by a sleepy Labrador wearing a paper crown and an expression of professional despair. “Then let's steal birthday capitalism now,” Bill muttered. Molly squeezed the piñata. Inside, instead of sweets, were sacks, a smoke bomb, and a handwritten apology to Pippa. At the fence, a toddler raised a sword. Both thieves froze, realizing the security system wore dinosaur pajamas.
