The blueprint of the cul-de-sac was currently smeared with a combination of mustard and crushed Funky Fingers potato chips. Molly licked her thumb and tried to wipe away the grease. Bill adjusted his night-vision goggles which were currently pushed up onto his forehead like a pair of profoundly paranoid sunglasses. We are talking about the motherlode, Molly whispered, squinting at a crayon drawing of a terrifying purple dinosaur with three eyes. This is the seventh birthday of little Braxton. His uncle is a crypto-mining hedge-fund manager with zero concept of budgetary restraint. I heard he bought the boy an imported Swiss watch made entirely out of sustainably sourced gummy bears. Bill groaned and shook his head. I do not care about the gummy watch, Molly. I care about the logistics. There is a bounce castle. A fortress of vibrating vinyl, noted Molly, tapping the blueprint with a yellowed fingernail. Patrolled by two teenagers named Tyler and Brayden who are currently hopped up on Capri Sun and existential dread. We bypass the inflatable perimeter, shimmy past the piñata gallows, and infiltrate the gift room through the doggy door. Bill crossed his arms, his black tactical turtleneck straining slightly against a pronounced paunch acquired during their last job at a Bavarian pretzel factory. The doggy door is rated for a pug, Molly. I am a professional cat burglar, not a liquid. You will fit if you exhale, she replied smoothly, pulling a set of lockpicks made from flattened juice boxes out of her pocket. Besides, think of the loot. We are talking designer skateboards, limited edition action figures with realistic sweat action, and at least three envelopes containing crisp hundred-dollar bills from overly generous grandmothers who still don't trust banks. Bill looked at the twinkling suburban lights in the distance, listening to the faint, muffled strains of the Macarena drifting across the manicured lawns. If we get caught by a pack of seven-year-olds hopped up on blue raspberry punch, I am retiring, he muttered. You will do no such thing, Molly snapped, shoving the greasy blueprint into his chest. Now put on your party hat and try to look like an erratic uncle who had one too many margaritas before the clown arrived. We strike at sundown.
