Molly crouched behind the hedge, binoculars trained on the bouncy castle. Bill crouched beside her, mostly because she had grabbed his collar and pulled him down. "That's the target," she whispered. The target was a seven-year-old's birthday party. Twenty-two presents sat heaped on a picnic table, guarded by a clown making balloon animals with unnerving speed. Bill had packed for the job the way he packed for everything: badly. His duffel bag contained rope, a grappling hook, three smoke bombs, and, for reasons he could not explain, a tub of coleslaw. Molly's plan was simpler. Wait for the piñata. When the children swarmed it, blinded by sugar and swinging bats, the thieves would slip in, sweep the table into a garbage bag, and vanish through the rose garden. "What if the clown sees us?" Bill asked. Molly watched the clown produce a balloon giraffe from thin air and sheer menace. "Then we run," she said, "and we do not stop until Canada." The piñata, shaped like a cheerful donkey, swayed in the afternoon breeze, unaware it was the fulcrum of the greatest heist of Molly's career. Bill opened the coleslaw and ate it with his hands. Nerves made him hungry.
