Molly slammed a glittery pastel invitation onto the folding table, right next to a half-eaten burrito and a pair of bolt cutters. Bill squinted through his smudged glasses, leaning over a crudely drawn map of a suburban backyard. Red markers indicated guard towers, which were actually just wooden swing sets. "Tell me again why we are hitting a six-year-old's birthday party instead of the armored truck on Fifth," Bill said, rubbing his temples. "I have a reputation, Molly. Guys in maximum security do not respect Lego heists." "This is not just any six-year-old, Bill, this is Barnaby Kensington the Fourth," Molly replied, tapping the glitter-encrusted cardstock with a stiletto nail. "His relatives do not buy plastic bricks. They buy miniature electric Ferraris, limited-edition collectibles, and envelopes stuffed with crisp hundred-dollar bills." Bill sighed and picked up a grainy surveillance photo of a rotund man wearing oversized polka-dot trousers and a terrifyingly wide grin. He tossed it onto the pile of reconnaissance folders. "Fine, the loot is solid, I will give you that," Bill muttered. "What about security? Every gated community within twenty miles has rent-a-cops, and rich moms have eyes like hawks when they drink chardonnay." "The perimeter guards are easily distracted, and the mothers will be neutralized by the mimosa bar by two o'clock," Molly explained. "Our real problem is Bozo the Magnificent here, and thirty toddlers jacked up on blue frosting." Molly pointed a laser pointer directly at a large circle labeled Danger Zone on the butcher paper. Bill adjusted his collar, visibly sweating at the mention of weaponized frosting. He hated sticky situations, literally and figuratively, after the disastrous cotton candy incident in Atlantic City two summers ago. "How do we bypass the clown without triggering a tantrum alarm?" Bill asked, leaning in closer to study the escape route through the prize-winning hydrangeas. "If one kid cries, the whole backyard goes into immediate lockdown." "We blend in using standard suburban camouflage, meaning khaki shorts for you and yoga pants for me," Molly said, tossing him a beige polo shirt. "While Bozo twists balloon poodles at fourteen hundred hours, we wheel the gift table contents out inside this oversized twin stroller." Bill caught the shirt and stared at the massive double stroller parked beside their stack of crowbars. It was bright pink and featured plastic cup holders. He shook his head slowly, mourning the loss of his hardened criminal dignity, then began unbuttoning his black leather jacket. "If anyone asks which kid is ours, I am pointing at the one eating dirt," Bill grumbled. "And I get fifty percent of whatever cash is inside the musical greeting cards, plus first dibs on any gourmet gift baskets." "Deal, just make sure you do not accidentally steal an actual baby this time," Molly said, grinning wickedly as she synchronized her cheap plastic novelty watch. "Grab the diaper bag full of smoke bombs, partner, because we roll out in ten minutes." Bill groaned, slung the floral bag over his broad shoulder, and followed her toward the waiting minivan.
