Molly unrolled the blueprint across Bill’s knees, which was difficult because the blueprint was a crayon drawing of a bouncy castle and Bill’s knees were eating crisps. Outside the community center, children shrieked with the sort of joy that made jewel thieves feel underpaid. Inside waited forty presents, one magician, and a piñata shaped like fiscal responsibility. “We go at two, when the clown naps,” Molly whispered. Bill adjusted his disguise, a paper crown reading BIRTHDAY DAD. “And we leave the juice boxes?” “Obviously. We’re monsters, not barbarians.” “Fine.” The plan was elegant: enter through the ball pit, neutralize the bubble machine with gum, compliment the magician until he wept, then slide the gifts down the laundry chute Bill had installed at dawn while pretending to be a raccoon inspector. Molly had packed sacks labeled NOT STOLEN and a getaway wagon disguised as a smaller, guiltier wagon. Bill had packed sandwiches, moral flexibility, and one kazoo for signaling or morale. A toddler wobbled past carrying a gift shaped suspiciously like the diamond tiara from last Easter. Molly narrowed her eyes. The mark had been upgraded from generous to psychotically festive. Bill cracked his knuckles, then apologized to them. Somewhere inside, candles were lit, a choir of sugar went feral, and forty tiny ribbons trembled like hostages who had heard rumors about Molly.
