Molly slapped a glittery blueprints map onto the kitchen table, nearly crushing her lukewarm cup of decaf. "Behold, Bill. The Johnsons’ backyard. Ground zero for the seven-year-old social event of the century." Bill squinted through his tiny, stolen reading glasses. "Is that a bouncy castle blocking the rear perimeter?" "It is," Molly said, nodding grimly. "And it is heavily guarded by a teenager named Kyle who is currently getting paid twelve dollars an hour to pretend he cares." "Tricky," Bill muttered, stroking his chin. "We can’t bribe him. Teenagers are unpredictable. What’s the haul looking like?" "High value, low friction," Molly replied, pointing at a cartoonish drawing of a pile of boxes. "We’re talking three Nintendo Switches, two motorized mini-convertibles, and a surprisingly heavy box that I suspect contains cold, hard Lego." "Jackpot," Bill whispered. "What’s our insertion strategy?" "We dress as clown doctors." Bill stared at her. "Clown doctors? Molly, that’s insane. Why not just regular clowns?" "Because regular clowns incite violence in children," Molly explained patiently. "It’s a known psychological phenomenon. A clown doctor commands authority while still maintaining a festive, medical aesthetic." "I am not wearing a red nose over a surgical mask," Bill said, shaking his head. "It defeats the purpose of the mask." "Fine," Molly huffed. "Plan B. We pose as the entertainment. I’ll do balloon animals, and you handle the puppet show." "I don't do puppets," Bill barked. "My hand-eye coordination is shot, and you know how I feel about felt." "Then what do you suggest, master thief?" Molly snapped, throwing her hands up. "We can't just walk in there with burlap sacks while twenty sugar-crazed second-graders attack our shins!" Bill leaned in, his eyes narrowing. "We wait for the pinata." Molly froze. "The pinata?" "Think about it," Bill gritted out. "It’s a paper-mache donkey full of high-fructose corn syrup. When that thing splits, total tactical chaos will erupt. Parents will be filming on their phones, kids will be fighting over knock-off fruit chews, and Kyle will be checking Snapchat." "A blind spot," Molly whispered, her eyes widening with sudden reverence. "A three-minute window of absolute anarchy." "Precisely," Bill said. "I swoop in with the wagon, you load the shiny packages, and we roll out through the side gate before the birthday boy even blows out his candles." Molly smirked, slapping the table again. "Bill, you sick, brilliant bastard. Did you remember the smoke bombs?" "Even better," Bill smiled sinisterly. "I bought six cans of silly string."
