Molly paced outside the abandoned warehouse, arms crossed. Bill sat on a crate, sketching a crude map of the party venue on a napkin. “Alright, here’s the plan,” Molly said, stopping beside him. “We hit the party at three. Kids are all distracted by the bouncy castle. We sneak in, grab the presents, and vanish before anyone notices.” Bill raised an eyebrow. “Vanish? Molly, it’s a *children’s* party. There’ll be at least a hundred adults there. Cops, bouncers, maybe even a mariachi band. How do we ‘vanish’ without being chased by a piñata?” “Easy,” Molly said, tapping her temple. “Distraction. I’ll set off the fire alarm. Everyone’ll panic, run outside, and we’ll slip in.” Bill snorted. “You’re setting off a fire alarm to steal presents? What’s next, a heist themed heist?” “It’s practical!” She elbowed him. “While they’re stampeding for the exits, we’ll grab the loot. The presents are probably stacked near the cake table anyway.” “And if the fire alarm doesn’t work? Or worse—what if the *actual* fire department shows up?” “Then we improvise!” Molly grinned. “Like always.” Bill sighed, scribbling notes. “Fine. But I’m not wearing the clown costume you brought. Last time, Uncle Frank screamed for an hour.” “Oh, come on! It’s perfect camouflage. Who expects thieves in polka dots?” “Who expects *clowns* at a superhero birthday party?” Molly paused, considering. “…Valid point.” She pulled out a glittery mask from her bag. “But we’ll need something flashy. Something to blend in.” Bill squinted at the mask. “That looks like a disco ball had a baby with a lollipop.” “It’s *vintage*,” Molly insisted. “And fabulous.” Before Bill could protest further, a voice boomed from the warehouse’s rafters. “Molly! Bill! We need to talk about the getaway car!” They spun around to see Gus, their equally inept accomplice, dangling from a rope swing above them. His shirt was singed. “Gus, what happened to the car?” Molly asked. “Blown up,” he said flatly. “By the presents.” Bill blinked. “The *presents*?” “Fireworks inside the gift bags. Must’ve been a prank gift. Exploded like a sugar cube grenade.” Molly stared. “You’re telling me the presents are *booby-trapped*?” Gus shrugged. “Guess we’ll have to break in and *carefully* pick out the presents. You know, like archaeologists.” Bill groaned. “Of course. Because stealing presents is *hard enough* without defusing party favors.” “Relax,” Molly said, already heading toward the party venue. “We’ll figure it out. Besides, who turns down a heist with free cake?” As they tiptoed toward the party, Bill muttered, “Next time, let’s rob a bank. At least *they* don’t set off fireworks.” Molly paused at the door, grinning. “Where’s your sense of adventure?” “In the morgue,” Bill replied. The two slipped inside, the sound of children laughing and a distant kazoo band echoing behind them.
