Bill nodded. "Right. So we grab the gifts, swap them with the decoys, and slip out the back." "Before the piñata." "Definitely before the piñata." Molly checked her watch. "Five minutes." Bill cracked his knuckles. "Plenty of time." A child screamed in the distance. Molly groaned. "That was fast." Bill shrugged. "Told you. Balloon animal."
