The dim glow of a flickering streetlamp cast long shadows across the alley as Molly adjusted her black ski mask, the elastic snapping against her cheeks. She crouched behind a dumpster, the scent of stale pizza and regret thick in the air. Bill, her partner in crime, fiddled with a set of lockpicks, his hands shaking slightly. "Nervous?" Molly whispered, nudging him with her elbow. Bill dropped the picks, and they clattered against the pavement. "Nervous? Me? Nah. It’s just—kids, Molly. We’re robbing a bunch of kids." Molly rolled her eyes. "Relax. They’ll be too busy stuffing their faces with cake to notice. Besides, we’re doing them a favor. Ever seen a kid unwrap a pair of socks? Tragic." Bill scratched his chin. "Yeah, but what if one of them cries?" Molly sighed. "Then we’ll cry too. Solidarity. Now focus. The back door’s got a flimsy lock. We’re in and out before the piñata even gets a good whack." Bill picked up the lockpicks again, his brow furrowed. "And the presents? They’re just sitting there, right? Not, like, guarded by a clown or something?" Molly smirked. "If there’s a clown, we’re taking him too. Clowns have cash. Everyone knows that." Bill groaned. "You’re making this worse." A burst of laughter echoed from the house, followed by the unmistakable sound of a kazoo orchestra tuning up. Molly’s grin widened. "That’s our cue. Let’s go make some memories." Bill hesitated, then nodded. "Fine. But if we get caught, I’m blaming you." Molly patted his shoulder. "Deal. Now move. And try not to step on any LEGOs." They crept toward the back door, the sound of children’s giggles growing louder. Bill fumbled with the lock, swearing under his breath. Molly kept watch, her heart pounding. This was either the easiest score of their careers or the most morally questionable. The lock clicked. Bill pushed the door open, and the scent of frosting and chaos hit them like a wave. Molly took a deep breath. "Remember, quick and quiet." Bill adjusted his mask. "Quick, quiet, and no eye contact with the birthday kid." Molly nodded. "Too late. You just made eye contact with me." Bill groaned again. "This is a disaster." Molly grinned. "Nah. It’s a heist."
