"Whew, that's one ride I won't want be lining up to go on again!" Emily said, as they began to extricate themselves from their chains.
"And we won't have to," Sabina said, wriggling free and tugging on a thin cable. The small blue device returned straight back to her, revealing itself as a shimmering metal boomerang, with the shape of a beret on top.
"All thanks to my trusty Sabinarang!™" the spunky archaeologist said, with a cheesy smile. "But, no time to gloat about it now. We've got to get into the Vatican Archives and find out what else that fiend The Pope is hiding."
"But now every creep in a cape and cassock is gonna be on the lookout for us!" Emily said, "how are we gonna get down there without getting nabbed again?"
"Shh!" Sabina said, covering Emily's mouth even though she had stopped speaking. Footsteps could be heard coming down one of the basilica's vast corridors. Sabina dragged Emily, still handgagged, behind a nearby statue of an angel, where they could see who was approaching, unobserved.
The sound of womens' voices preceded the sight of two nuns entering St. Peter's. They turned towards the entrance to the basilica's ladies' room, just past the vending machines that sold Coca-Cola and scratch-off lottery tickets. One of the nuns stood no taller than an eight-year-old and was colossally overweight, barely able to waddle. The other one was at least seven feet tall.
"That's our ticket!" Sabina said. "Come on!" They waited until the nuns had entered the restroom, and then jumped through the door after them.
A few minutes later, Sabina and Emily emerged, the stolen nun habits fitting the two average-sized, athletically-built women perfectly. The nuns themselves mmphed from the restrooms behind them, having been thoroughly restrained and gagged and left in the restroom stalls. Sabina turned to Emily with a smile.
"Now, we have the perfect disguises!" Sabina said. "Let's get on down to the Archives and do some digging!"
"Right!" Emily said. "Let's hoist The Pope by his own pellegrina!" Together they hurried out of the basilica.
