Molly tapped the blueprint of the backyard. Bill squinted at the candy table. Molly: The invitations say seven o’clock, cake at seven thirty. We have twenty minutes after the presents. Bill: Twenty minutes is plenty if the kids are busy opening crap. Molly: They’ll be busy screaming. That’s the plan. We dress as clowns, we blend. Bill: I hate clown shoes. Molly: You hate everything. You’ll be the sad clown, I’ll be the happy one with the grab bag. Bill: I’m not grabbing bags, I’m distracting the parents with a magic trick. Molly: The trick is stealing the good stuff while they watch your hands. Bill: What if a kid cries? Molly: Then we cry too. Sympathy theft. Bill: The presents are under the plastic tablecloth, I saw the host’s Instagram. Molly: Perfect. We lift the whole tablecloth. Bill: And if the mom asks? Molly: We say we’re the clean-up crew. Parents love clean-up crews. Bill: Do we get paid per present? Molly: We get paid per present we don’t get caught with. Bill: Fair. Seven o’clock. Don’t forget the nose. Molly: I never forget the nose. Bill: You bring the rope, I’ll bring the guilt. Molly: Guilt doesn’t fit in a duffel. They slipped out into the night, noses wobbling.
