Molly studied the invitation beneath a streetlamp, its glitter migrating onto her gloves like evidence with excellent public relations. Across the road, a birthday banner sagged over the community hall, where thirty children were apparently celebrating one small person's continued existence with an alarming quantity of wrapped merchandise. “We enter disguised as magicians,” Molly said. “I refuse to swallow swords,” Bill said. Bill peered through the window. A clown inflated a sausage balloon, lost control, and accidentally knighted a grandmother. Near the cake stood a mountain of presents, defended by paper hats and the unshakeable confidence of people who had never met Bill. “Then carry the glitter cannon,” Molly said. “Does it fire actual glitter?” Bill asked. Molly unfolded their blueprint, which was a napkin bearing two arrows, a stain, and the words PRESENTS THIS WAY. Bill recognized the stain from lunch and immediately questioned their operational budget. They would enter through the side door, mingle until the candles went out, then roll the gift table toward the waiting van. Unfortunately, the van belonged to Bill's mother, who had insisted he return it before dinner and absolutely not transport any more garden furniture. Inside, someone struck up a birthday song. Molly checked her watch. Bill checked for swords.
