Molly leaned over the cheap folding table, smoothing out a crumpled map of the Henderson house. "Okay, Bill. Entry point is the side gate. Nobody locks it on party days." Bill squinted at the blueprint, then at the sketch of a clown. "Why is there a clown on the map?" "That's Mr. Wiggles. He's the entertainment. Stay away from him." "I don't like clowns, Molly. They've got that look. Like they know what you did last Tuesday." "Focus. The presents are stacked in the living room, right beside the piñata. We grab the big boxes first, then the ones with bows. Bows mean expensive." Bill scratched his chin. "What about the little ones? The ones wrapped in dinosaur paper?" "Leave them. Nobody wants dinosaur paper stolen. That's bad luck." "Bad luck for who?" "For us, Bill. Think about it. A kid cries, the parents call the cops, and suddenly we're on the nightly news wearing those ridiculous party hats." Bill shuddered. "Not the hats. Anything but the hats." "Exactly. Now, the getaway. I've got the van parked two blocks down, behind the bounce house rental place." "The bounce house place? Molly, that's a terrible hiding spot. Those things are enormous." "That's the point. Nobody looks twice at a van parked near a bounce house. Besides, the driver of the bounce house truck owes me forty bucks." "You're lending money to bounce house guys now?" "I'm collecting on a debt, Bill. There's a difference." Bill flipped the map over. "And if somebody spots us?" "We tell them we're the magicians." "We're not magicians." "We have a rabbit." "We do not have a rabbit." Molly paused. "Okay, we don't have a rabbit. But we could get one. Rabbits are cheap." Bill sighed and pulled a black ski mask over his head, muffling his voice. "Fine. But if I get stuck under that bouncy castle again, you're pulling me out this time." "Deal. Now synchronize watches. Party ends at four. The cake comes out at three-thirty, and every adult in that house will be staring at the candles." "Three-thirty. Got it." "And Bill?" "Yeah?" "Take the sugar cookies from the kitchen. I'm not doing this on an empty stomach."
