The warehouse smelled of rust and forgotten dreams, which Molly found oddly comforting. She spread the blueprints across a crate of expired party favors, her finger tracing the route to the gift table. "Bill, you're staring at the bounce house again." She didn't look up. She knew that particular silence, the way he fixated on inflatable things when he was nervous. "I'm planning," Bill said, though his eyes remained fixed on the illustration of a purple dinosaur with googly eyes. "The security is a clown. One clown. Do you know how many clowns I've—" He stopped himself. "Don't say it." "I was going to say 'defeated.' Professionally speaking." Molly finally looked up. Bill stood three feet from the blueprint, rigid as a fence post, his lockpick set already sweating in his palm. He had been a children's entertainer once. She tried not to remember this. "The clown works twelve to four," she said. "We hit at eleven-fifty. Twenty minutes to bag everything, exit through the kitchen, van waiting by the dumpster." "And the dinosaur?" "What dinosaur?" Bill pointed at the blueprint. The bounce house had been drawn with suspicious enthusiasm, complete with a smiling face and what might have been eyelashes. "I'll handle the inflatables," he said quietly. Molly gathered her tools. Some partnerships, she reflected, required more than careful planning. They required faith.
