An inquiry into a disaster. It was just within a month, that an unknown epidemic gripped that small town,Hillwood. The natives were extreme theists .As they gave more importance to to invoking other than aegis. The disaster knocked them down swiftly. It was in such a time that we entered the scene. We Mr.Bills and Mr.Johnson,two agents allotted for uncovering the source of the disease. But only after starting the inspection we realized that it was impossible. The main reason was the cause or inventor of the disease was unsung. The next issue was our safety. It has no warranty. As we had no other option, we decided to invest under false identities. Eventhough we were unrecognised,people were not ready to expose anything. At last one man helped us. He too was feared of the disease and wanted to liberate himself from this menace. He was a truck driver named Marco. He amazed us by identifying that we are cops. This impressed us. Moreover he then gave us the most important data. Even though the people of Hillwood believed in God ,a few atheists existed among them. They formed a secret organization against them and planned outrages against them. Marco believes that this disease is a creation of them. He brought us to a house. He also helped us in many ways. It was he who brought us food. After that we didn’t see him. Eventhough we carried out further investigation about the way of spreading of the disease. We didn’t find it. At last we decided to go back we didn’t know if Marco said the truth. But it was enough for us to complete our mission. When were returning safely. Both of us were thinking of Marco. We haven’t seen such a man in our life before. When we were thinking like this one of our vehicles had reached to pick us. It contained some some natives too. We entered the vehicle and it started moving. When I looked outside ,I was surprised to found Marco standing at a distance and smiling at us. Johnson also spotted him. We both waved at him. Our co passengers saw this and they stared at us. We were a little bit confused. I turned to the person who was siting next to me and whispered into his years. “What happened ?” He remained silence for a few seconds and replied “Nothing. Usually none of us speaks to him. Marco is part of our community. ” This again confused me I said,”Sorry But I didn’t understand your words”.He looked around cautiously and murmured ,”He is an atheist !”My heartbeat stopped for a moment. I looked at Johnson. He was about to say something. But he couldn’t. He coughed and what came out from his mouth was blood. ഐശ്വര്യ ബിജു 10J ജി വി എച്ച് എസ്സ് എസ്സ് കടയ്ക്കൽ ചടയമംഗലം ഉപജില്ല കൊല്ലം അക്ഷരവൃക്ഷം പദ്ധതി, 2020 കഥ  സാങ്കേതിക പരിശോധന - Nixon C.
