He packs heat," Molly whispered, her voice gravelly from decades of smoking. Bill shuddered, adjusting his ski mask. "Squirt gun or balloon animals?" "Both. God help us. Wear the goggles." Bill nodded grimly, synchronizing his novelty SpongeBob watch. At precisely two-thirty, during the piñata distraction, they would strike. No mercy, no prisoners, and definitely no cake.
