(Look out Cain!
The Jaguar snarled, fiercely charging at the party of treasure hunters deep in the jungles of Brazil)
Cain Mason was a 29-year-old professional journalist who enjoyed ATVs, soccer, tennis and boating, also restoring old cars...
He is stern, honest, but can also be very mean and a bit impatience at times...Growing up in Brazil, he finished school and then left academia...
Physically, Cain was in pretty good shape. He is tall with brown skin, black hair and brown eyes...316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxhwiG9rQu
(Raised in an upper class and afluent neighborhood, his mother died when he was young, he was then raised by his father)
"Glenda?"316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGliDCkyYH1
You are so stupid!316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0E1i3LCUT
"Cain, Glenda exclaimed, "Why are you so darn rude and impatience all the time? I went to the parts store but the clerk said that they didn't have the right steering wheel column you needed for that old assed Ford model T..."
"Glenda, didn't you go to the other auto parts place, the one across the railway yard on the corner?Glenda exclaimed, no, because I'm not your personal slave, I'm your girlfriend!"
"Cain, I've got better things to do besides running all over town sweating and searching for your dumb old things...316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uAhdMcCFl
(Glenda is 4 years older than him and works as a Fashion designer)316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4LTXLXTBM
Cain's best friend is a professional sports analyst named Evan Cameron, they have a very good friendship, he also hangs around with Fatima Parks and Alonzo Seer...316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgQwqD3ZiA
(They enjoy spreading fake news on Facebook together, Fatima is a pretty, confident woman he has known since childhood, she is a hotel receptionist)316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOeDq9G9hw
"Oh, come on, lighten up Glenda, you know your boyfriend has a love jones for old cars."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYjRy8S1Od
Don't you Cain?316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJHYL85pNA
Aww, shut up now Evan, you're just so jealous of my many natural talents that you don't possess and wish you had.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74pNTOWx6j
Talent, cried Evan, I have more talent in my little, bitty pinky then anyone you have ever known...
(First Cain, then Evan begin laughing and slap each other a high five.)316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5bn5SHHRI
"Hey!"316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JAMCS6yJo
What are you chumps doing? "Fellows, I bring good tidings!" I bought beer, wine and some Spanish peanuts from the party store around the way...
Fatima!316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3dPm64ITo
Cain said, you're a sight for sore eyes and thirsty throats...
(Fatima reminded him of his dear mother, Elsa Aute Mason who died in a tragic car accident years ago)316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPwCw87Nlv
Yet he still idolise her memory and person...
Hey dummy, yelled Cain, do you still have that Facebook treasure map to the island where a famous pirate was supposed to have buried chests of gold?316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dflbg9FMZ
Yeah, replied Evan but it's lining the bottom of my pet lovebirds's cage at the moment...316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemv5gsLfNy
"What!"316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB9MCx4m37
Cain said, did you even try to verify the real location, lattitude and enclosed longitude of the island?
"Naw!"316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xuZoRWz4r
Cain, it was a stupid, fake map that someone sent us out of revenge since we're always pranking people on Facebook.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhPND6OH5M
Yeah, said Fatima, now everybody just chill out and enjoy our cold beer, wine and Spanish peanuts...
"Hey, stupid," Glenda's voice snapped him out of his reverie. "Evan, why did you put the treasure map in your dumb ass bird cage? The one to the island where the famous pirate supposedly buried chests of gold?"316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vxpneawkr
Cain grinned. "Yeah," "He is a dumb ass!"316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrCN2EijpW
And so they sat there—a motley crew of friends. Fatima reminded Cain of his mother, and he wondered what Elsa would have thought of this wild adventure.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNLCK0Kl7T
"Remember when we were kids?" Cain said, looking at Fatima. "We used to explore the old ruins near our neighborhood."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp0mSHy23j
Fatima nodded. "Those were simpler times," she said softly.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tAKoZL5ha
Evan leaned back against a chair. "And now we're chasing pirate gold," he mused. "What a life!"316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiLJwKrirV
Cain's mind raced with possibilities. The treasure map might be fake, but what if it wasn't? What if they stumbled upon something truly extraordinary?316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs4ZhJUJkm
"Tomorrow," Cain declared, raising his beer bottle, "we follow that map to the letter."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kXmLp4uVH
Glenda rolled her eyes but clinked her bottle against his. "Fine," she said. "But if we end up empty-handed, you owe me a romantic dinner."316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCf8T37pJL
Cain chuckled. Glenda's fiery spirit was part of what drew him to her—the perfect counterbalance to his stern demeanor.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCgKYU6McE
As the night settled around them, they laughed, sharing stories. The kind that friends like to share. And ahh... somewhere in all that laughter and camaraderie, Cain felt—a thread linking him to both the past and the uncertain future.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mWJ577DA4
