"Let us review the blueprints one more time," Molly whispered, flattening a grease-stained paper napkin across the hood of their battered van. "Molly, that is a kids menu from Applebee's," Bill said. "You just drew a skull over the word maze." "It represents the bounce castle, Bill. Pay attention. Sector Alpha is the sandbox. Sector Bravo is the snack table. The primary objective rests in Sector Charlie." "The pile of wrapped boxes behind the inflatable dinosaur?" "Precisely. High-value contraband. Little Timmy is turning seven, and word on the street is his grandmother flew in from Zurich." "Zurich? You think she brought bearer bonds?" "I think she brought the limited-edition Lego Millennium Falcon, which fetches eight hundred dollars cash on the secondary black market." Bill stroked his chin thoughtfully. "What about the guard dog?" "A three-legged Pomeranian named Waffles. I have already neutralized him." "You killed him?" "I bought a half-pound of smoked turkey from the deli, you psychopath. He will be entirely occupied." "Good, good. And the hostiles?" "Twelve second-graders hopped up on blue raspberry punch," Molly said, tapping the crayon skull. "They are fast, unpredictable, and deeply sticky. If you get cornered by any of them, do not make eye contact. Drop a handful of glitter and run." "What if the clown shows up early?" Bill asked, his voice trembling slightly. "You know how I feel about balloon animals, Molly. The squeaking gives me hives." "Mr. Giggles is running forty minutes late because I slashed his unicycle tire with a box cutter. We have a perfectly clear window." "Brilliant. And our extraction vector?" "We load the haul into two oversized diaper bags, scale the wooden perimeter fence, and rendezvous by the neighbor's compost bin. Under no circumstances do you touch the funfetti cake." "Not even a corner slice with the little sugar roses?" "No sugar, Bill! Remember the Omaha heist? You ate three cupcakes, got the jitters, and dropped the antique tiara into a hot fondue fountain." "That was a traumatic blood-sugar crash and you know it." "Do not forget the juice box distraction," Bill added. "I already planted thirty Capri Suns behind the rose hedge to lure the suburban parents away," Molly snapped. "Everything is accounted for. Have you got the bags?" "I brought the ones with the cute cartoon ducklings on the front so we blend in." "Masterful work, Bill." "Wait, are we taking the handmade cards?" "Only if they contain crisp twenty-dollar bills from distant relatives." "Fair enough. What about the party favor bags?" "Leave the plastic whistles, take the fun-sized candy bars." Bill pulled on a pair of velvet gloves. "I am ready. Let us crack this preschool vault." "Synchronize watches," Molly commanded. "My watch is a digital Pikachu band, Molly. It only beeps on the hour." "Then move when I move. Three, two, one, go."
