Molly crouched behind a dumpster, adjusting her ski mask with the precision of someone who’d done this a thousand times. Bill, however, looked like he was about to hyperventilate into a paper bag. “Okay, Bill,” Molly said, her voice a low growl. “Listen up. The party’s in ten minutes. We need to get in before the adults start watching the kids.” Bill nodded nervously, clutching a stolen kids’ backpack. “Right, right. But what if there’s a cop car? Or—” “Or what? You gonna freeze like last time?” Molly smirked. “We’ve got a fake mustache, remember? Blend in.” He produced a lopsided mustache from his pocket. “It’s a bit crooked, isn’t it?” “Perfect. Nobody expects a mustache that lopsided to be real.” Molly checked her watch. “The side entrance is our best bet. Quiet, no guards. Just need to pick the lock.” Bill fumbled with a lockpick. “This thing’s harder than my math homework.” “Practice makes perfect, genius.” They heard high-pitched laughter seep through the walls. Molly’s eyes narrowed. “Go, go, go!” Bill tiptoed toward the door, mustache askew. Molly followed, whispering, “If this goes south, blame my planning.” “Says the woman who forgot the getaway car!” “Too busy memorizing the escape route.” They slipped inside. The room was a kaleidoscope of toys, balloons, and chaos. Molly scanned for presents. “There! The gift table!” Bill started stuffing a sack. “What if the parents notice?” “Then we distract them with a magic trick. Or a fake spider. Your call.” “Should we, um, take the presents back to the car?” “Only if you want us to be late for the heist!” Bill tripped over a streamer, nearly face-planting into a piñata. Molly facepalmed. “Smooth, Bill. Real smooth.” “Hey, I’m a professional!” “Professional disaster.” They exited into the alley, sirens wailing in the distance. Bill grinned. “We did it!” Molly exhaled, adjusting her now-slightly-less-crooked mustache. “Next time, let’s rob a bank. Less messy.” “Agreed.” They piled into the getaway car—a beat-up station wagon with duct-taped windows and a bumper sticker reading *Honk If You’re Horny*. Molly tossed the backpack into the backseat. “We’ll return these later. Maybe with a note.” “A note?” “Yeah. Something like, ‘Sorry we stole your kid’s birthday presents. Here’s a coupon for a new one.’” Bill opened the glove compartment, revealing a stack of coupons for a local diner. “We’ll need more than that.” “Relax. We’ll monetize the chaos. Sell the coupons on eBay.” They peeled out of the parking lot, the weight of stolen toys and questionable decisions pressing on them. Molly hummed the *Paw Patrol* theme song. “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” Bill asked. “Adrenaline rush. Best part of the job.” “Yeah? Well, I’m hungry. And not in the ‘I’ll-eat-anything-because-I’m-a-starving-teenager’ way. In the ‘I-need-a-proper-heist-snack’ way.” Molly pulled over at a gas station. “We’ll grab snacks after we launder the loot.” “Loot?” “Presents. We’re calling them loot now. Sounds more professional.” Bill rolled his eyes but smiled. “Next time, I’m bringing a plan that doesn’t involve crying during the reconnaissance phase.” “Deal. But only if you stop hiding in dumpsters.” “Where’s your house?” They both burst into laughter, the sound echoing into the night as they fueled up the station wagon.
