The Other Side's

Blank

The news of the mayor's son's discovery and the arrest of two of his captors shocked Grandville. Angela, the Mayor's son, is found unconscious and has lost both eyes.

Until now this news was put down by Grandville City police still investigating who is the mastermind behind this kidnapping, is this really a love conflict? Political opponents who want to harm Sir William's family? Or maybe there's something bigger behind all this?

Peter squeezed the morning paper furiously and threw it at Lana.

"Basic stupid! What's this?!" shouted Peter

"How long have you been doing this job! How can you be so careless!" Lana just stood still on the spot

"I've paid you well above standard wages but why don't you work!"

"I'll take care of it, doctor" said Lana

"Well! I should! Don't let me regret believing you."

Lana then leaves Peter alone in her room. All day Peter thought about the news he read this morning, indeed in the news there was nothing to connect him with the case but still he had to be careful.

That afternoon Peter decided to go home early, as he walked in front of the ICU room a journalist approached him.

"Good afternoon, Doctor Grey, I'm Pope of the Grandville News" the reporter said, extending his hand

"Pope afternoon, call Peter, how can I help you?" Peter shakes Pope's hand

"If you don't mind I'd like to ask you a few questions,"

"Well of course."

They walked to one of the park benches.

"Doctor Peter, do you know Angela?"

"Which one?"

"The son of Sir William, mayor of Grandville,"

"Okay, what's going on?"

"Have you read the news this morning? News of the discovery of Angela and her captor, as well as the condition of Angela who lost both her eyeballs,"

"Yes, what does this have to do with me?"

"There's a source who says he saw you having dinner with Angela at a restaurant the day after he ran away from home,"

"Then what's wrong with buying dinner?"

"Well, of course, it's not the doctor's fault, I just want to know if that night after you've finished eating you guys go home apart or the doctor takes her somewhere?"

"That night he was drunk but he said he could go home by himself so we parted ways and we never met again,"

"Okay doctor, one last question. Do you remember what Angela wore to dinner with you?"

"I'm not sure, but as I recall she was wearing a red dress. She loves red,"

"Thank you so much for your time, doc." they shook hands, and Pope left Peter.

Peter grabbed the phone from his pocket and pressed the quick call button.

"Have your men escort me from afar, it seems like someone is watching me. I want that man found."

His parents were in his father's study when Peter arrived home, he stepped in and threw his body on the couch.

"My dad and I were talking about you, Pet" said Mary, looking scary because she wasn't wearing her fake eyes at the time.

Dr. Grey sits in a chair near Peter.

"So you really know this girl?" Peter was silent and did not answer his father's question

"Now we should be more careful, we do ordinary things. For a while we didn't need to add any new organs and didn't need to open the labyrinth," Grey spoke as he rubbed his chin.

"Ah bullshit! The labyrinth should remain open next week, I'm sure Peter has found a way to solve this problem."

"This piece of news must've subsided in a week." Mistress Mary spoke while occasionally rubbing her eyes.

"These eyes are starting to make me uncomfortable, I think I need a new pair of eyes." Peter looked at his mother.

"Your vision is blurred?"

"Yes, it's not just blurred, I often can't see clearly."

"Actually without opening the labyrinth I can still work on a pair of eyes for you Mom,"

"Well if that's what you want Mom, I'll have Lana prepare everything."

A few days after Ramona and I followed Peter, everything seemed normal. From home he went straight to the hospital, and vice versa. He does not meet new people or communicate with anyone other than those around him.

"He must be working on a plan" Ramona said

"It could be, but then should I know?"

"Well, did he, or did he give Lana a command without your knowledge?"

"Of course."

Me and Ramona were silent, immersed in each other's thoughts. I decided to go back to the hospital when two tall men dressed in all black approached Ramona's car from the left and right sides, knocking on the windshield.

"Yes what's wrong?" ramona asked while lowering the car glass, suddenly the man beside her put something on Ramona's nose that made her unconscious.

The two men swiftly moved Ramona's body to the back seat and one of them drove Ramona's taxi to an old house in the suburbs. The others followed him from behind in another car.

Arriving there, they sat Ramona in a wooden chair, tied her legs and hands back and gagged her mouth with a cloth.

Ramona was still unconscious, the two men standing guard at the door. Who're they? Are they Peter's men? But how could they directly capture Ramina? Do they know? But how can it be? I'm really confused, what should I do now?

It was already evening when a car seemed to be approaching, the two men greeted Lana who got down from the car. Lana walks into the house, gesturing to open the clogged mouth of Ramona.

One of the men woke Ramona by pouring a bucket of water on her face. For a moment Ramona looked confused, after fully realizing her eyes were looking at Lana.

"Who are y'all? Where's me?!" Ramona asked as she shouted, Lana just looked at him without any Expression.

"We should have asked Miss, what are you doing in front of the hospital?"

"I'm a taxi driver, and I'm waiting for passengers, of course,"

"You lied! You've been there for a few days, in the same place all day."

"The passenger was quiet so I waited,"

"Ah stop this nonsense!" exclaim Lana

"You take care of him, don't get away. He's going into the labyrinth." said Lana with a cold face, then passed back driving her car.

Ramona and I looked at each other in confusion, all this was completely outside our plans.

Tonight the Labyrinth is back in the open, the game this time opened by doctor Grey because the vision of Lady Mary has become more blurred, she just sits while staring at the screen that shows the faces of the participants. Her eyes were fixed on the only female participant in the game this time.

"Who is the female Peter?" ask Miss Mary

"He's a taxi driver" Peter replied

"How old is he?"

"About twenty years,"

"Hmm ... is very young, I'm sure the cornea is still very healthy. I want Pet's eyes,"

"Okey Mom, but let him run the race first. I'll make sure no one hurt his head." Mary smiled with satisfaction at Peter's reply.

The Labyrinth participants were already at the door of each, as usual participants this time were also five people.

"Sorry Ramona, because of an undercooked plan you have to go through all this,"

"Don't worry I can get through all this,"

"I hope so, good luck Ramona!"

The doors were opened, the participants started running. I guided Ramona, showing me the turns I remember there were no hunters there.

But apparently they have changed the position of the hunters until at the turn of the umpteenth Ramona met with a hunter armed with a knife, he nimbly avoided the hunter's attack.

When he saw Ramona's chance to salto the air and then land directly behind the hunter, he then curled the hunter's neck with both hands with all his might to make him short of breath and die.

Feeling able to control the situation makes Ramona less alert, when he returned to moving he did not realize there were other hunters following him. And ah! An arrow stuck in Ramona's calf caused her to drag the leg, but then a second arrow followed back to hit her leg, making Ramona fall down and unable to move.

The players who bet on Ramona complained of disappointment, thinking Ramona had lost.

Apparently all had been arranged on the orders of Peter who wanted Ramona's eyes given to his mother, the arrows contained anesthetic so that Ramona looked defeated.

A member of Lana enters the Labyrinth and drags Ramona's body out of the park, taking her to one of the rooms in the hospital baseman. Throw Ramona in there while waiting for the next order.
