At dusk, Molly crouched behind the community hall, studying balloons tied like nervous hostages to the rain gutter. Bill sprawled beside the hedge, wearing a caterer’s apron stolen from a man delivering nachos nearby. Inside, thirty children shrieked around a magician whose rabbit looked exhausted enough to request legal representation. The presents waited beneath a plastic tree, wrapped in dinosaurs, rockets, and one suspiciously expensive box shaped like a toaster. Molly had brought lockpicks, a collapsible wagon, and a clipboard labeled Emergency Gift Inventory. Bill had brought a trumpet, because he believed every crime improved with brass. “Presents only, Molly; no children, clowns, cake, or souvenirs,” Bill murmured. “Fine, but if the piñata attacks, I’m taking its money first,” Molly said. They slipped through the side door when the magician announced a disappearing trick. Bill vanished immediately, tripping over a juice box and landing inside the coat closet. Molly found him beneath three parkas, clutching a party hat. Outside, their wagon rolled away downhill, filled with presents and one furious rabbit. Molly watched it vanish into traffic. Bill removed the hat and sighed. The rabbit drove expertly, steering with its teeth toward the municipal golf course at dawn.
