Molly crouched behind the hedge, studying the glittering front door. Inside, children shrieked over a game involving balloons and, apparently, structural damage. Bill unfolded a crayon map on his knee. “Kitchen entrance,” he whispered. “Then straight to the presents.” “That’s a picture of a dinosaur.” “The dinosaur is guarding the kitchen.” “It’s wearing an apron.” “Exactly. Catering staff.” Molly peered through the window. A mountain of wrapped gifts stood beside a chocolate fountain. Between them sat a woman wearing a badge that read AUNT DEBBIE. “We need a distraction,” Molly said. “I brought juggling balls.” “You can’t juggle.” “Then it’ll be distracting.” Bill stepped through the gate, tossed three balls skyward, and caught none. One bounced off the doorbell. Aunt Debbie opened the door before either thief could flee. “You’re the magicians?” she asked. Molly glanced at Bill, who had a ball wedged in his collar. “Absolutely,” Molly said. “For our first trick, we make presents disappear.” Aunt Debbie folded her arms. “Wonderful. Start with the ones nobody wants.” Twenty minutes later, Molly and Bill staggered away carrying six enormous boxes of educational worksheets. Behind them, the children cheered as Aunt Debbie announced that the party had been saved.
