Molly spread the birthday invitation across a crate labeled DEFINITELY NOT STOLEN. Bill studied the smiling cartoon dinosaur with the suspicion he usually reserved for security cameras and vegetables. “We enter as magicians, grab all the presents, and disappear,” Molly said. “Last time, your disappearing act involved police, handcuffs, and crying,” Bill replied. That had been an unfortunate misunderstanding involving a rabbit with excellent legal representation. Their target was Saturday’s party at the community hall. Twenty children, forty presents, one exhausted parent guarding a cake shaped like a volcano. Molly considered the operation practically charitable: fewer toys meant less clutter. Bill considered the guest list. His niece was attending. This complicated matters. She had once extracted twelve dollars from him using nothing but eye contact and a wobbly lower lip. Molly produced their disguises: glittery capes and matching rabbit ears. Bill silently wondered when professional crime had started requiring accessories from the clearance aisle. Then Molly unfolded the party schedule. Between cake and presents came a performance by Captain Justice, retired detective and enthusiastic balloon artist. Bill lowered his ears. Outside, a siren wailed. Both thieves froze until an ice cream truck appeared, advertising another career with substantially better prospects.
