My name is Arema Rodney Theodore. I live in a small family consist of my dad, my mom and my big brother. My big brother is called Atlas Leland Theodore. The two of us is 5 years apart. To be honest, we are growing up in a small family. My dad was a successful businessman and my mom was a scientist but she already retired after the two of us born. Everything was smooth, we are a happy family, until my dad getting tricked and his business bankrupt, this house feels like hell rather than a place to rest. Everyday I can hear my parents quarreling. Then one day, my dad agree to sell this big and luxury house and we move to a smaller house. In the small house, our family start all over again, my dad creating a startup business and now he is working in Tokyo, sometimes moves to China and comeback home when the project is done and be back again when the work is calling him. Since then, they stop quarrelling, I start my high school and my big brother start to search for a job. We are not living as a rich people, but as long as everything is back to normal and peacefull, I'm so grateful for that.
In the dining room.
"Arema, aren't you supposed to study now? You said you have an exam tomorrow, why are you still reading a novel?" Ask his mom.
"It's okay mom, I will study after I finish all the food on my plate." Said Arema.
"Study well, okay? You said you want to be a scientist like me, I believe you can do well and kill the exam." Said his mom.
"I will, mom! Don't worry~ oh yeah, where is Atlas?" Ask Arema.
"I don't know, I haven't seen him since morning.. Have you call his phone?" Ask his mom.
"No, I haven't, the last time I saw him was last night, he is reading a newspaper searching for a full job or internship?" Said Arema.
"Well, It's already dinner time, he is still not coming home, I will call him now. You better finish your meal and don't forget to study later!" Said his mom.
"Okay..." Said Arema.
When his mom start calling Atlas, there is a sound from the front door. He is finally back home. His mom quickly welcome him to the front door.
"Atlas, you finally back!" Said his mom.
"Yeah mom! Listen! I finally got a job!" Said Atlas with a joyful face.
"Oh wow congrats!!" Said his mom, hug him.
The two of them finally walk to dining room.
"Arema! Listen! Your brother finally got a job!" Said his mom.
Arema stand up from his chair and walk to his brother to congratulate him.
"Broo congrats for your job!" Said Arema.
"Yeah, thanks Rema!" Said Atlas.
"Anyway, when will you start your job?" Ask their mom.
"Tomorrow. I will start my job tomorrow!" Said Atlas.
"Great, I am happy for you, child." Said their mom.
"Anyway, do your best with your study Arema, you need to get into the best university!" Said Atlas.
"Yeah I will!~" Said Arema.
"I hope you both can do well in everything you wanna do." Said their mom.
That night we are sleeping really well because the good news that Atlas bring to us. Atlas accepted as a police detective. Our family really proud of him and his job. But that good news sometimes worried us a lot. Worried at where he might go, worried why he isn't coming back home for sometimes because of a case, and worried that he might be followed by bad people because he still insist to find out the unsolved case.

15 days before Atlas missing.
Arema comes to Atlas room.
"Atlas!! I got accepted in my favorite University!" Said Arema.
"That's great!!" Said Atlas.
That time Atlas was sitting on his working desk in his room reading a newspaper, there are so many documents and paper on his tables. Arema was curious so he bravely ask what is all that on his tables.
"Bro, so many papers on your tables... What is all that?" Ask Arema.
"Ah, these are the documents that was bring back from the police office." Said Atlas.
"That many?! I mean it's all piled up on your tables.." Said Arema.
"Yeah, thats all the case I need to solve. You wanna see some?~" Said Atlas.
"I can?! Really?!" Said Arema.
"Yeah go on~" Said Atlas, giving one of the document files for Arema to read.
Arema opening the document, there he saw a wanted person, a photo of dead body and every part of the scar is explained in detailed.
"This is...too much for me!" Arema said it while his palm closing his mouth and he hurriedly running to the toilet, throwing up after seeing all the things he saw in the document just now.
"Hahahahaha! My gosh, you haven't grown up after all!" Shout Atlas.
At night in dinner time.
"Why does your face look like you have no appetite, Arema?" Ask their mom.
"It's all Atlas fault..." Said Arema.
"Hahaha, nah you are the one who curious to see it.." Said Atlas.
"What you guys are talking about? See what?" Ask their mom.
"See the document in my room." Said Atlas.
"Bro, you are the one who offer it to me.." Said Arema.
"But you didn't reject it Rema.." Said Atlas.
"Mom, seriously I lost my appetite right now.." Said Arema.
"Atlas, stop teasing your brother. Go eat now Arema.." Said their mom.
"Alright mom, but seriously, don't sneak to his room and saw the document on his desk mom, you will end up throw up like me..." Said Arema.
"Hahahaha no, adults won't throw up like you Rema~ You better study well and grow up!~" Said Atlas.
That day after dinner, I went to my room to sleep, but sadly, I can't, so I end up sleeping with my big brother in his room. That night he laugh so hard in his room while he is still in his desk working. I don't know what time he went to sleep but all I know, when I wake up in the morning he is already go to office before I greet him a morning.
I walk again to his working desk, there he left open a news paper, there is an article about a missing people that he circled with a red marker. I have a bad feeling after reading the article.
