The getaway van smelled of pepperoni and failure and was parked two blocks from Sunshine Chuckles Play Barn. Molly spread a crayon-drawn map across the dashboard while Bill tried to untangle himself from a deflated bouncy castle. "Okay, so the target is a seven-year-old's birthday party," Molly said. "That's cold, Molly, even for us. These kids have cake," Bill said. "They have presents. Twenty kids, twenty presents, plus the big one from the parents. We're talking loot, Bill. Juice boxes and untold plastic riches," Molly said. Bill finally freed his leg. "I thought we agreed no more jobs involving clowns, kids, or petting zoos after the goat incident." "This is different. No goats. Just a laser tag arena that doubles as a ball pit. I've got intel," Molly said. "What intel? You asked your niece?" "I asked little Timmy's mom on Facebook. She posts the security layout every hour. Look, entrance is through the front with the giant singing sun," Molly said. "So we just walk in?" "No, that's what they'd expect. We go through the emergency exit by the kitchen, the one propped open because the pizza oven is smoking. We wear the uniforms," Molly said. "We have uniforms?" "We have matching polo shirts that say Official Present Safety Inspection Team. I made them last night with glitter glue," Molly said. "Molly, that says Offical Presint Safety Inspction. You spelled three words wrong." "That's on purpose. Makes it look authentic. Government work," Molly said. "And once we're inside, we just grab the present table and run? There are parents everywhere," Bill said. "Distraction. You will put on the dinosaur costume and do the birthday dance," Molly said. "Me? Why me?" "Because you still owe me for eating the last diamond. This mascot suit smells like feet and broken dreams, perfect for you," Molly said. "Kids are going to cry. Loudly. Like air-raid siren cry." "Good, when they cry, the parents will look at you, not me. I'll swap the real presents with identical empty boxes I wrapped. They won't notice until Monday," Molly said. "What if the birthday boy notices his bike is suddenly a box of towels?" "Then we pedal faster," Molly said. Molly folded the map. The van door creaked open as the distant sound of twenty kids screaming happy birthday echoed down the street. Bill zipped up the dinosaur suit. He tugged the tail that squeaked every time he turned and the plastic eyes stared blankly at the pile of half-eaten chicken nuggets on the passenger seat. "Do I have to roar?" Bill asked. "Yes, and then fall over dramatically, kids love dramatic failure," Molly replied. Outside, a clown on stilts wobbled past the van and dropped a bouquet of squeaky balloons, completely oblivious to the criminal masterminds inside. "If we get arrested over Paw Patrol toys, I'm saying you kidnapped me." "If we get rich over Paw Patrol toys, I'm saying it was all my idea," Molly said.
