Molly adjusted her night-vision goggles over her forehead and stared at the sprawling suburban mansion twinkling with neon-pink balloons. Bill was busy chewing on a stale cheese puff while consulting a crayon-drawn blueprint that smelled faintly of grape juice. The target was the seventh birthday party of Harrison Vance Junior, possessor of the world’s largest privately owned cache of limited-edition action figures. Molly tapped her watch impatiently. This was supposed to be a professional operation, not a Tuesday afternoon playdate. Bill swallowed loudly and pointed a sticky finger at the paper. According to my intel the main hallway is currently guarded by a roving pack of sugar-crazed sugar gliders dressed as pirates. Sugar gliders are marsupials Bill, not attack dogs, and besides, the intel came from a seven-year-old high on fruit punch. Do not underestimate the viciousness of a seven-year-old high on red dye number forty, Molly, because they have nothing to lose and tiny plastic swords to jab into our kneecaps. We are professional jewel thieves, or at least we were before the diamond market dried up and we had to pivot to plush toys, so put the cheese puffs away and check the grappling hook. The grappling hook is currently tangled in the bouncy castle, which is breathing heavily and smells like sweaty socks. You threw it at the bouncy castle? It looked suspiciously like a medieval keep from this angle, okay? Forget the hook, we are going through the drainage pipe, which leads directly beneath the gift-wrapping station where the loot is currently unguarded. Unhinged is the word you are looking for, Molly, not unguarded, because I can already hear the faint, terrifying strains of Baby Shark echoing through the ventilation shafts. That is just psychological warfare, Bill, designed to break our spirits before we even reach the pinata. If they deploy the pinata bat, I am turning around and going back to stealing hubcaps like respectable criminals. We need those action figures to pay off our debt to the Pigeon Mafia, Bill, so unless you want your kneecaps broken by a syndicate of angry urban birds, you are going to crawl through that pipe. Fine, but if I emerge covered in glitter and sticky with juice boxes, I am renegotiating my cut of the loot. Your cut is ten percent and half a juice box, now get in the tube. Only if I get the Capri Sun with the punch flavor.
