Molly spread the invitation across their kitchen table like a map of enemy territory. Glitter stuck to her fingerprints. A smiling dinosaur promised FUN, which Bill considered a threat. “Molly, are we really robbing a birthday party?” Bill asked. “Only the presents. Cake theft is beneath us,” Molly said. Their target was Sebastian, seven, whose parents had rented a ballroom and invited enough classmates to qualify as a small republic. According to Molly, the gift pile would include gaming consoles, designer sneakers, and something described online as an educational robot, which sounded expensive and judgmental. “We need disguises,” Bill whispered. “Obviously,” Molly replied. She produced two clown wigs. Bill stared at the orange one. He had entered crime to escape customer service, not return to it with squeaky footwear. The plan, as outlined on a napkin, involved arriving confidently, looking festive, and leaving before anyone requested balloon animals. Molly had drawn a getaway car. Bill had drawn a grave. Then they noticed the invitation’s final line: Please bring donations instead of gifts. For several seconds, neither criminal moved. Molly folded the napkin. Bill picked up the dinosaur invitation and examined it again, hoping charity was some kind of expensive toy.
