Molly adjusted her black ski mask and stared at the invitation. "So let me get this straight. We're robbing a bunch of six-year-olds?" Bill polished his lock-picking tools nervously. "Technically, we're liberating gifts from a capitalist system that teaches kids materialism." "Right. Because nothing says revolutionary praxis like stealing Tommy's Transformer." Molly rolled her eyes. "What's the plan?" "Well, I was thinking we could crash the party, blend in with the adults, and then systematically pilfer the presents while everyone's distracted by cake and pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey." "Brilliant. And how exactly do we blend in with parents? Last time I checked, we don't own a single article of normal clothing." Bill gestured to his outfit. "I have khakis and a golf shirt in my getaway van." "You have khakis?" "They're cargo shorts, actually. But they're beige." Molly facepalmed. "We are so going to prison for this." "The real question is whether we'll be in the same cell." "Bill." "What? It's important." "Focus. How do we get inside?" "Window or door. Your choice of entry point." "Thank you for the tactical analysis, Captain Obvious." "Hey, I'm full of useful information today." Molly pulled out a blueprint. "Okay, the party's in the main hall. There's a side entrance near the kitchen. We hit the gift table first, then make our escape before anyone notices their presents are gone." "And if someone catches us?" "We tell them it's performance art about the commercialization of childhood." "Genius. I mean, what kind of parent doesn't appreciate a good art installation involving their kid's birthday presents?" "The ones calling the police, probably." "Touché." Bill paused. "Wait, why are we doing this again?" "Because the fence said he'd pay top dollar for unopened children's toys. Something about his nephew's birthday being next week." "So we're stealing from kids to sell to other kids?" "Welcome to the circle of crime." "Molly, I think I'm having second thoughts." "Too late to back out now. I already bought party hats." "You bought party hats?" "For authenticity. I'm thinking pirate theme." "Molly, this is insane." "But the hats were on sale." Bill stared at her for a long moment. "You know what? Let's just do it. If we're going down for this, we might as well go down dressed as pirates." "Attaboy. Now, about those walkie-talkies..." "We're using walkie-talkies?" "How else will we coordinate our pillaging?" "I... fair point." Molly grinned. "See? This is going to be either the best heist ever or a very expensive trip to juvenile detention." "Wait, we're not juveniles." "Not yet, anyway."
