Molly unrolled the blueprints across the hood of their getaway hatchback, pinning the corners with a juice box and a stolen party horn. "The bouncy castle is our blind spot," she whispered, jabbing a crayon diagram of the Hendersons' backyard. "Nobody watches gifts during the clown." Bill adjusted his itchy balaclava and consulted the dossier compiled over three weeks of surveillance. Target: Timothy Henderson, age seven. Take: one bicycle, assorted Legos, a rumored Nintendo, and forty goody bags. Security: a golden retriever named Biscuit, plus a grandmother who dozed but startled easy. Escape: through the hedge, left at the sprinkler. "And the dog?" Bill asked. Molly produced a zip-top bag of bacon treats from her tactical vest. She'd thought of everything. She'd cased the preschool. She'd memorized the piñata's hang time. She had not, however, anticipated the balloon artist. They crouched in the hydrangeas, watching a man twist a poodle from squeaking rubber while forty children sat transfixed, the present pile fat and gleaming in the sun behind him. The man was a maestro. A giraffe. A sword. A second, smaller giraffe. Molly's eyes went soft and hungry. "We take him too," she breathed. Bill nodded slowly. Some scores were bigger than money.
