Molly slammed the rolled-up blueprints onto the sticky vinyl booth of the diner, scattering a small mountain of empty sugar packets. Bill flinched, nearly dropping his jelly doughnut into his lap. Around them, the Tuesday morning regulars chewed their bacon in oblivious silence, entirely unaware that the heist of the century was being plotted right next to the broken jukebox. "Behold," Molly whispered, her eyes gleaming with manic intensity as she smoothed out the paper. "Fort Knox. Only with more balloons and a terrifying amount of refined sugar." Bill squinted at the crude drawing, which appeared to have been drafted on the back of a placemat using a purple crayon. "Molly, this is a backyard in the suburbs. Are those supposed to be guard towers?" "Those are the corners of the bouncy castle, you absolute turnip. Focus! Little Timmy Henderson is turning seven on Saturday. His father is a partner at a dental firm, and his mother is the president of the PTA. Do you know what that means?" "That the kid probably has immaculate oral hygiene?" "It means the loot table is going to be legendary!" Molly hissed, jabbing a finger at a giant red X near a sketch of a patio table. "We are talking high-end plastic, Bill. Limited edition building blocks. Video games. Maybe even one of those miniature electric cars that rich kids drive on the sidewalk to terrorize the elderly. There will be zero receipts and untraceable gift cards." Bill wiped a smudge of powdered sugar from his chin, looking deeply skeptical as he leaned over the table. "I do not know, Molly. Seven-year-olds are vicious. Remember the bowling alley job? A toddler bit my ankle so hard I walked with a limp for a month. What is our angle on crowd control?" Molly leaned back, crossing her arms with the smug satisfaction of a master tactician who had thought of everything. "I have already neutralizing the perimeter. At precisely two-fifteen, the entertainment arrives." "A magician?" Bill asked, his voice trembling slightly. "I hate magicians. They always have birds up their sleeves. It is unnatural." "Better. Us." Molly reached beneath the table and hoisted a massive, smelled-like-mothballs canvas duffel bag onto the bench between them. She unzipped it slowly, revealing a terrifyingly bright assortment of polka-dotted fabric and oversized foam footwear. "You are Bozo. I am Chuckles." Bill stared into the abyss of the bag, the color draining rapidly from his face. "No. Absolutely not. I am a professional burglar, Molly. I crack safes. I bypass laser grids. I do not make balloon poodles for sticky little monsters." "You will make balloon poodles, and you will like it!" Molly snapped, shoving a bulbous red foam nose into his chest. "While you distract the ankle-biters with your tragic attempts at comedy, I will back the ice cream truck up to the hedges and load the wrapped merchandise. We will be on the highway before they even cut the cake."
