The blueprints spread across the grease-stained table of the local diner were not for a bank, nor a museum. They were for the Jungle-Jamboree Play Palace, a suburban hellscape of primary colors and ball pits. Bill adjusted his night-vision goggles, which looked absurd paired with his beige trench coat. "I’m telling you, Molly, the security is tighter than a drum. They’ve got three teenage referees in matching yellow shirts, and one mom named Brenda who looks like she’s killed a man for less than a late fee." Molly rolled her eyes, taking a long sip of herlukewarm coffee. "Brenda is a PTA vice president, Bill, not a cartel boss. We stick to the plan." "The plan is madness!" Bill gestured wildly at a crudely drawn map. "At fourteen hundred hours, the sugar high peaks. Have you ever seen thirty six-year-olds on a juice-box bender? It’s pure chaos. It’s Lord of the Flies with glitter." "Which is precisely our distraction," Molly said, tapping a pencil against a spot labeled 'The Gift Table'. "While Brenda is distracted by the ceremonial cutting of the ice cream cake, we slide in through the bouncy castle ventilation duct." Bill leaned back, crossing his arms with a skeptical huff. "And how do you propose we bypass the laser grid?" "It’s not a laser grid, it’s a string of paper pennants." "They are sharp, Molly. Paper cuts are a silent killer." Molly threw her pencil at him. "Focus! Timmy’s grandmother is coming to this party. Do you know what that means?" Bill’s eyes widened behind the green tinted lenses of his goggles. "The legendary matriarch purse?" "Better," Molly whispered, leaning over the table. "An envelope. Fat, crisp, and loaded with unfiltered birthday cash. Plus, I heard rumor of a vintage, mint-condition action figure in a box twice the size of a microwave." "A haul like that could set us up for the entire summer," Bill breathed, a slow, devious grin spreading across his face. "We’ll be drinking top-shelf chocolate milk by sundown." "Exactly," Molly said. "Now, did you acquire the specialized tactical gear I requested?" Bill reached under the booth and pulled out a large, pink canvas sack. "One hundred percent high-density cotton. Hand-stitched." Molly stared at it. "Bill, this is a pillowcase with a unicorn on it." "It’s tactical unicorn gear! It holds at least four Lego sets and a remote-controlled drone!" Bill defended defensively. "Plus, it blends in with the local aesthetic." Molly rubbed her temples, feeling a headache brewing right behind her eyes. "Fine. What about the getaway vehicle?" "Parked outside," Bill said proudly, slapping a set of keys onto the laminate table. "A 2008 Honda Odyssey. I even left the child locks off for a speedy exit." Molly smiled, pocketing the keys. "You’re a criminal mastermind, Bill. Let’s go rob some kids."
