The Plague People 24. The Plague PeopleUnderneath the theatre, in the lanes and alleys of the Underground City, the Plague People had steadily picked their way free and were now roaming the streets at will. The walls that had held them prisoner had crumbled under the pressure of their desperate attempts for freedom and as they sallied triumphantly forth, their wailing cries struck fear into the hearts of those who heard them. The police were still in the Underground City at the time, some in the vaults of the bank, while others searched methodically through the streets and houses for traces of Murdo, Wullie and Tammy Souter.The ghosts guided them here and there and it hadn’t take the policemen long to appreciate their help; for without them, they’d soon have been lost in the labyrinth of alleys and streets that seemed to stretch all the way down the High Street to Holyrood. Surprisingly enough, they worked quite well together. The ghosts were all right, thought the policemen, as long as you didn’t look too closely at their awful eyes.Then they heard it in the distance, a strange moaning, bubbling noise that echoed weirdly among the houses.
