Molly spread the invitation across Bill’s dashboard. “Bouncy castle at two, cake at three, clown at four.” “And us?” “Three-fifteen sharp. We break in as magicians.” “Why magicians?” “Because nobody questions a man carrying a suspicious sack.” “What’s my trick?” “Disappearing.” “Before or after the presents?” “During, ideally. You wheel the gift table into the van while I distract everyone.” “With what?” “Balloon animals.” “You can’t make balloon animals.” “I can make balloons frightened.” “There are thirty children.” “So?” “And one security guard.” “That’s a dad with a whistle.” “He means business.” “So does your moustache, and I wouldn’t trust that near a bank.” “It’s itchy.” “It’s also on upside down.” “Fine. You handle the guard.” “How?” “Tell him the clown is cheating at musical statues.” “Will that work?” “It works on your mother.” “She’s eighty.” “And still very competitive.” “So my distraction needs to last longer than a hiccup.” Molly produced a rabbit from her handbag. “Where did that come from?” “Your flat.” “That’s my rabbit.” “He’s our inside man now.” “He’s a rabbit.” “Exactly. Completely above suspicion.” The rabbit sneezed. “Fine. But we leave the birthday girl one present.” “The clown?” “The clown stays. He’s seen my face.”
