Molly spread the crudely drawn map across the kitchen table while Bill polished his fake mustache with a napkin. The target was a suburban backyard, Saturday three p.m., a pirate-themed birthday for seven-year-old twins. Presents would be piled high under a plastic tablecloth, guarded only by a distracted mother and a helium balloon arch. It was perfect. She tapped the fence with a pen. Bill adjusted his clown shoes, whispering about the risk of juice boxes. He was nervous about the squealing. Molly checked the baby monitor they'd borrowed, the one that looked like a rubber duck. The plan was simple: enter as entertainers, distract with balloons, grab the loot bag. No alarms, just sugar. Bill asked about the exit route. Molly said the trampoline was theirs. He grinned, finally convinced. Molly shoved the map into his coat pocket and reminded him about the wig. She had stolen it from a costume shop last Tuesday and it smelled faintly of glitter and regret. Bill practiced his sad clown voice while she counted the spare plastic swords hidden under the sink. Bill whispered, "What if a child asks for an autograph?" Molly snapped, "Sign it 'Captain Present' and run before the ice cream melts quickly."
