9 The Real Genius!

It's 14th June 2046, Frank wakes up in the morning and goes to the Car Wash for his shift. He comes back home and has almost completed the Machine he assumes would help him in Time Travel and plans to use it on 18th June which is Samuel's birthday and the day when his father disappeared. He tells his boss that he wants to take a leave on the 18th. He had everything planned. He completes making the machine on 15th June and plans to test it on 18th. On the 18th, he wakes up before dawn and decides to test it finally after more than 2 years of making the machine. He got inside the machine with the note his Dad had given him and started it. The machine had started working but it stopped suddenly. Frank gets out and sees that the lab was burning because of the flares released by the Machine. He instantly gets out of the Lab and calls the Fire Fighters. The whole lab was burned but surprisingly there wasn't even a scratch on the machine. Franks feels heartbroken as it was his Father's Lab. He goes inside his house and opens the Science channel which had the headline of Samuel being arrested for being involved in a fraud that was just a cover-up. Frank who already felt heartbroken was devastated by the news and started crying. He goes to the balcony for some fresh air. He was stumbling a lot and was crying loudly. Frank decided that he will no longer work on something related to the Time Machine and will live a simple life. Suddenly a high-velocity air hits him and he falls. He starts to wonder that why was the velocity of the air so high. He goes inside and opens the Television and hears about the Denver Bombing. At first, he doesn't care about it and goes to sleep. In his sleep he sees his Dad who talks to him and says " Was I only worth this? You are a Disgrace!" and Frank wakes up terrified. He has some breakfast and suddenly an idea pops up in his mind that his brother might be involved in this or might have some information about it. He goes to his brother's villa the next day. He decides to break into the house. He first feels that he might get caught but assumes that all the cops will be busy with the Denver Bombing and breaks into his Brother's house. He enters the house and sees that nobody's home and was about to leave. While he was going back, he saw something and it was a page in front of his Brother's home lab. He picks it up and gets shocked as he sees it has the code language and the same letters as his Dad's note. He goes home and compares both the note and the only difference he sees was that in Tim's letter he had written TIME TRAVEL, meanwhile, Samuel's letter had something scribbled at first and the word visible said THE NUKE. It didn't matter to Frank and he thinks that his brother has also made approaches to bring back their Dad. Frank after having a look at the pages says " Brother, You Are The Real Genius".
