Molly spread the invitation across Bill’s dashboard. “Two hours, thirty children, one bouncy castle. We go in as caterers, grab the presents, and leave before the magician produces anything louder than a rabbit.” “Why can’t we go in as magicians?” “Because you cried when I suggested holding a dove.” “It had eyes, Molly.” “Focus. You distract the parents with balloon animals. I’ll load the gifts into the cake box.” “What if the cake’s already in it?” “Then you’re carrying a cake.” “I knew this plan had a role for me.” “At six, the clown starts juggling. That’s my cue.” “Molly, clowns don’t juggle for twenty minutes without a break.” “Mine will. I’m paying him in fudge.” “You hired a clown?” “Borrowing one.” “From whom?” “The party next door.” “So my brilliant cover depends on a kidnapped clown?” “Borrowed. And he’s very motivated. I told him you make balloon poodles.” “I do.” “You made a balloon subpoena last week.” “It was supposed to be a giraffe.” “Fine. New plan. You guard the getaway car.” “Where’s the car?” “Outside.” “That’s an ice cream van.” “Exactly. Nobody suspects dessert.” “It’s playing music.” “Then we’ll escape with rhythm.” “I’ll bring extra fudge, Molly.”
