The getaway van smelled faintly of cheese sticks and felony. Molly spread the Evite across the dashboard like it was the floor plan to Fort Knox. "Okay, explain Operation Birthday Piñata again, Bill, so I can be sure we're officially the worst criminals in the city." "It's brilliant, Molly. Lisa's kid is turning six. She bought forty presents. One is definitely a PS5. We take it, sell it, pay rent." Bill wore a clown wig that was actively shedding onto the pizza boxes behind them. "Bill, last time you said brilliant we robbed the aquarium and came home with a penguin and a restraining order." "That penguin knew too much. Look, it's simple. We dress as clowns. No one questions clowns at a kids party." Molly stared at the wig, then at Bill's serious face, which was somehow worse. "You want us to infiltrate a bouncy castle full of six-year-olds in flammable wigs to steal a Switch that doesn't exist?" "It exists. I saw the wishlist. Laser tag, a bike, and a gift card that could buy us dignity." "The plan says you distract parents with balloon animals while I stuff presents into the giant cake box." Outside, the wind tried to rip the antenna off the van. Inside, Bill tried to make a balloon giraffe. "Exactly! You make a bunny, you make a poodle, you make a delayed exit with stolen Hatchimals. Look, giraffe!" "Bill, that's just a long balloon filled with despair. Those kids will turn on us. They smell fear and bad credit." "So you got a better idea? We need cash by Friday or this van becomes our permanent address." Molly sighed and folded the Evite into a paper airplane that immediately nosedived into the ashtray. "We could get actual jobs. Lisa literally offered us jobs at her party. She needs a clown." "That's our in! We're already hired. We just misinterpret the job description. Instead of bringing joy, we take it." "Fine. But if I have to wrestle a child for a Bluey plushie, I'm keeping the Bluey plushie. And we're not stealing the cake." Bill looked genuinely wounded at the idea of leaving cake behind. "We take the cake too. It's red velvet. That's my favorite." "We're not stealing a six-year-old's cake, Bill. There's a line. We crossed it, moved it, crossed it again, but cake is my new line." "Okay, okay, no cake. Just presents, quick in, quick out, and we never speak of this unless we get away with it." Molly turned the key. The van coughed, sneezed, and finally growled to life with the dignity of a shopping cart. "Then we will bring it up at every dinner party forever." "Let's go rob childhood." The clown noses on the dashboard stared back at them like judgmental cherries. "Wait, do we have to sing Happy Birthday? I can't sing." Bill popped a red nose on. It squeaked. "Don't sing. Just look remorseful in advance." Molly drove. "Also, if we see Bluey, grab Bluey." The van rolled forward.
