Molly spread the blueprints across the card table—hand-drawn in crayon, labeled "Bounce Castle Zone" in wobbly letters. The target: Timmy Henderson's seventh birthday, Saturday, at the Henderson estate, a venue she'd cased twice while disguised as a balloon artist. Her notes detailed sight lines, guard rotations (grandma in a lawn chair), and the piñata's blind spot. The piñata itself worried her: a donkey stuffed with candy, essentially a burglar alarm made of sugar. Bill adjusted his ski mask, which read HAPPY BIRTHDAY in glitter. He'd stolen it from a party supply store, which felt thematically appropriate. "What about the clown?" he asked, voice muffled. Molly tapped the map. The clown departed at three; their window was tight—forty-five minutes between the entertainment's exit and the cake-cutting, when every childish eye would be glued to frosting. She'd rehearsed the approach in her living room, crawling between an ottoman and a suspiciously judgmental cat. Bill studied her notes, eyeing the bouncy castle sketch. "Amateurs bounce with no discipline," she said. "We go through the ball pit." He nodded, pulling the glittery mask down. "If the clown returns early, I'm out." Molly packed garbage sacks. Somewhere, a seven-year-old's Nintendo Switch awaited liberation.
