Molly spread the crayon-drawn blueprint across the dashboard of their dented sedan. Outside, a terrifying ten-foot inflatable dinosaur bobbed menacingly on the suburban lawn. "Are we entirely sure about this, Molly?" Bill asked, adjusting his oversized polka-dot bow tie in the rearview mirror. "I have knocked over armored cars, fenced diamonds in Antwerp, and bribed the mayor of Toledo. Now I am wearing velveteen overalls to rob a six-year-old." "Not just any six-year-old, Bill," Molly whispered fiercely, tapping the blueprint with a stolen lollipop. "This is Barnaby Montgomery the Third. His father owns half the plastic wrap factories on the Eastern Seaboard. Do you know what is sitting on that gift table right now? Untraceable, pre-packaged, shrink-wrapped gold. We are talking flagship Lego sets, limited-edition drones, and envelopes fat with grandma cash. There isn't a serial number on a single toy." "What about the security detail?" Bill asked, nervously eyeing a mother in yoga pants patrolling the perimeter with a tray of juice boxes. "That woman at two o'clock has the dead eyes of a former Mossad agent. If she spots us ditching our balloon animals near the loot, she will take us down with a celery stick." "She is just the head of the PTA, Bill, get a grip," Molly scoffed, pulling a neon green wig over her ears. "Here is the play. At precisely fourteen hundred hours, the magician goes on. He is a third-rate hack named Presto Pete. When he pulls the dove out of his pan, every single sugar-crazed ankle-biter in the backyard will be looking at the gazebo. That gives us a ninety-second window of pure, unadulterated distraction." "Ninety seconds is tight," Bill muttered, wiping a bead of sweat from his white greasepaint. "How do we extract the merchandise? If we walk out the front gate carrying forty pounds of wrapped Mattel products, people are going to ask questions. Clowns are supposed to give things to children, Molly, not haul them away in burlap sacks." Molly grinned, patting a massive, flat box resting on the backseat. "We aren't using burlap sacks. We are using the Trojan Piñata. While the brats are mesmerized by the bird, we wheel in this giant paper-mache unicorn. It is completely hollow. We shovel the high-end boxes into the belly of the beast, claim there is a structural defect with the hanging rope, and wheel it right back out to the curb." "That is either the dumbest thing I have ever heard, or sheer genius," Bill said, slowly nodding. "What if the birthday boy tries to hit it while we are loading the Nintendo Switches?" "Then you hand him a twenty-dollar bill, tell him the tooth fairy died, and run while he cries," Molly said, popping the car door open. "Check your squirt flower, partner. It is showtime." Bill sighed, honked his red foam nose for luck, and stepped out into the sunshine.
