Molly stared at the blinking blueprint of the cul-de-sac and licked her thumb to scrub a stray speck of glitter off the kitchen table. Bill hissed, swatting her hand away with a rolled-up magazine. That glitter is compromised evidence from our last job at the retirement home, do not contaminate the perimeter. It was a rogue sequin, Bill, and besides, the stakes tonight are astronomical. Five-year-olds are vicious and their parents have bottomless pockets for artisan juice boxes. Are you certain about the intel on the piñata? Bill asked, adjusting his night-vision goggles so they rested haphazardly on his forehead like a dead owl. Positive, whispered Molly, leaning in close and tapping the glowing map. It is stuffed with high-grade imported chocolates and at least three remote-controlled helicopters. We are talking about maximum collateral cuteness. What about the perimeter defense? I heard rumor of a bouncy castle with motion-activated squeakers. We bypass the castle by utilizing the trampoline-to-patio-roof infiltration vector, she declared, smoothing down her black turtleneck which was unfortunately speckled with cat hair. We drop in silently, swap the loot bags with decoy sacks full of stale bran muffins, and exfiltrate before the juice box-induced sugar crash turns the toddlers feral. Feral toddlers are my trigger, Molly, you know that, Bill muttered, nervously twitching his grappling hook made entirely of repurposed curtain rods and fishing line. Last time we did a daycare gig, little Timmy bit my kneecap clear through my thermal underwear. That was a calculated professional risk and you got a commemorative band-aid out of it. Now, synchronise your Mickey Mouse watches. We strike at precisely three minutes past the piñata blindfolding. Bill sighed heavily, pulling a neon pink balaclava down over his nose. If we get arrested this time, I am telling the parole officer you forced me into a life of suburban crib-robbery. You would never survive in the big house, Bill, you cry when the toaster pops too loud. Now, grab the burlap sacks and let us go liberate some action figures. They scrambled out the doggy door into the suburban darkness, a monument to greed and poorly planned career choices, ready to terrorise the birthday cake industrial complex.
