"The target's a six-year-old's birthday," Molly said. "Guest list: forty children, one magician, one bouncy castle." "Forty children? That's forty witnesses." "Children can't testify. Half can't tie their shoes." "The magician can." "He's handled. I'm dosing his doves with sleeping pills." "Security?" "One teenager in a princess costume. Code name: Sparkles. Armed with a bubble wand." "Motion sensors?" "Streamers, probably. Let's find out." Molly lobbed a pebble. Nothing. "Clear." "The piñata?" "That's the vault. Good candy inside. We crack it last." "What about the cake?" "Three tiers of chocolate. We take it for morale." "Molly. We're stealing presents from children." "We're liberating unattended valuables from an under-supervised event." "A clown just walked in." Bill froze. "Is it looking at us?" "They always see everything. Don't smile. Smiling encourages them." "Oh no, it's waving." "Don't wave back—amateur. Get behind the bush." "Now what?" "You distract Sparkles, I take the presents table, we rendezvous at the piñata." "And the children?" "Cartoon hour. Nobody looks up during cartoons." "Present situation?" "Wrapped, unlabeled, gorgeous." "What if there's a troll doll?" "We fence it." "God, I love this job." "Save it for the getaway, Bill. Now put on this dinosaur tail and act six."
