Listen up, Bill, Molly whispered, slapping a crumpled floor plan onto the steering wheel. We hit the bounced castle at fourteen hundred hours. Fourteen hundred, Bill repeated, adjusting his clip-on bow tie. Is that before or after the cake? Because I was thinking we could grab a slice. Focus, you idiot, Molly snapped, rolling her eyes. The cake is a distraction. While the birthday girl is blowing out seven candles, we make our move on the pile in the corner. Which pile? The wrapped ones or the gift bags? Bill asked, taking a nervous bite of a stolen juice box. Both, Molly said, pointing a sharp fingernail at a red sticky note on the paper. You deploy the smoke bomb. By smoke bomb, do you mean the vapor rub you put in the humidifier? Bill raised an eyebrow. It’s tactical menthol, Bill! Molly hissed. It’ll cause chaos. The kids will start coughing, the parents will panic about germs, and in the confusion, we swoop. I still think dressing up as glittery clowns is a mistake, Bill muttered, tugging at his polka-dot trousers. My trousers are chafing. You look majestic, Molly lied, checking her fake mustache in the rearview mirror. Now, did you bring the getaway vehicle? I backed the wagon right up to the bushes, Bill said proudly. It’s got brand new rubber wheels. Silent as a mouse. Is it the red Radio Flyer? Molly asked, her eyes narrowing. With the extended sideboards, yes, Bill said, nodding eagerly. It holds three big boxes of Lego and at least four American Girl dolls. Excellent, Molly smirked. What about the guard dog? The golden retriever? Bill grinned. I packed four string cheeses. He’s already compromised. Good man, Molly said, patting his shoulder. What’s our code word if the bouncy castle collapses or a parent catches us? Juice box, Bill offered. No, too common. Make it Macaroni, Molly commanded. Macaroni it is, Bill agreed. What do we do about the kid with the laser pointer? You take him out with the bubble machine, Molly instructed. Blind him with suds. Understood, Bill said, taking a deep breath. Molly, are we really doing this? They’re just children. They have three Playstation fives between them, Bill, Molly said coldly. They don't even appreciate graphics yet. You’re right, Bill gritted his teeth. They’re ungrateful monsters. Let's take those presents. Masks down, Molly ordered, pulling a sequined sleep mask over her forehead. On three. One, two... Wait, Bill yelled. I need to pee. Molly groaned loudly. You had an hour before we left! I was nervous! Bill whined. Fine, Molly snapped. Three minutes. Then we strike.
