Part 5

                     After 5 years

That was the last memory I have with Atlas. The next day, he was gone. In my imaginations I made so many fake scenerios with him and wished that all could be true. But unfortunately it all ended before it even started.

Its been five years. I still have no clue where he went. His parents searched for him for almost two years, but then all believed that he died. But I couldn’t give up on him. These five years were so hard to live without him. I thought about him every single day. I had a strong belief that he is alive, I will find him and he will explain to me what happened. So I became a detective.

Atlas's father was a well known businessman that time. As a result, he did have a lot of enemies. Two years after Atlas disappeared, his parents went to the USA. Since then, I have never heard anything about them.
Atlas's disappearance case was closed the day his parents went to USA. But I opened that case again after 3 years of it. Since the day I took on this case on my hand, I have been receiving threats.
Spam calls, weird texting saying "I'm behind you", " You have no idea what will happen next" etc is happening to me recently.
As I took on his case, i visited his neighbourhood to know more about his parents. And what is more suprising is that i came to know that he had a brother who his family hid for years. And he suddenly showed up just before the day Atlas disappeared and made a huge scene in the neighbourhood. From what I heard from the neighbours, his only greed was his father's property. But he was a scumbug, he fled home when he was eighteen and came back after 10years. Only the people close to them knew about these. Atlas's family never revealed about his lost brother. The next day Atlast disappeared and so did he.

The day before Atlas's disappearance, Atlas was at the trip with me and others so he mustn't have knew about his brother. I was pretty sure after hearing these that Atlas's disappearance had something to do with his brother.

I made no delay and flew to USA.
