The faded blue van smelled faintly of stale coffee. Molly peered through binoculars at the suburban house across the street. The lawn was littered with a bouncy castle and a horde of sugar-crazed six-year-olds. A banner read 'Happy 6th Birthday, Timmy!' She lowered the binoculars and sighed, turning to her partner. Bill was trying to fit a neon orange wig over his bald head while eating a bag of Cheetos, leaving fluorescent orange dust on the dashboard, the seats, and his tactical vest. "Please tell me you read the briefing, Bill," Molly said, wiping Cheeto dust off the blueprint in her lap. "Of course I read it, Molls," Bill said, his voice muffled by the wig. "Infiltrate the perimeter, neutralize the target, extract the payload. Standard Saturday. We go in fast, we go in loud." "Bill, the target is a six-year-old's birthday party. The payload is a mountain of board games and a half-eaten cake." Bill gasped, dropping a Cheeto. "Don't underestimate the cake, Molly. Sugar is a highly addictive substance in this zip code. The street value of that frosting could fund our retirement." Molly pinched the bridge of her nose and closed her eyes. This was her life now. Three years ago, she was casing high-security diamond vaults in Monaco. Today, she was arguing about buttercream frosting with an idiot in an orange wig. She tapped a fingernail against the blueprint. The back door was the weak point, located next to a plastic slide. The main problem was the parental security detail. Soccer moms were notoriously vicious, armed with organic juice boxes and a desire to enforce strict gluten-free rules. "Here is the plan," Molly said, pointing her pen. "I’ll distract the parents by pretending to be a health inspector testing the punch bowl for high-fructose corn syrup. You sneak in through the bouncy castle's emergency exit." Bill adjusted his wig, looking concerned. "The bouncy castle? Molly, I get motion sickness. Last time I was in one, I pulled a hamstring and got assaulted by toddlers. It was a nightmare." "Do you want the loot? Think of the action figures. Limited-edition collectibles." Bill's eyes widened. "Mint in box?" "Mint in box," Molly smirked. "Alright, I'm in. But if I step on a stray Lego, I am suing this operation. I don't care if we are criminals. I will call a lawyer." Molly smirked and tossed him a pair of cheap, neon green sunglasses. She checked her wristwatch and then grabbed the door handle. Outside, a group of parents were gathering around a dinosaur piñata hanging from a large oak tree. Bill nodded, shoving the last Cheeto into his mouth. He grinned, his teeth glowing orange in the sunlight. Molly shook her head, pushed open the van door, and stepped out into the suburban battlefield. "Put these on and look like a camp counselor," Molly instructed. "And wipe that Cheeto dust on your pants. You look like a radioactive Oompa Loompa. We move in when they bring out the bat. The noise will cover our entry."
