(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...98Please respect copyright.PENANAsgL6khs2Gu
(Raised in an upper class and afluent neighborhood, his mother died when he was young, he was then raised by his father)
"Glenda?"98Please respect copyright.PENANAmsrptpjm60
You are so stupid!98Please respect copyright.PENANA4hMMJt2AUz
"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...98Please respect copyright.PENANAH9c9GY9NYB
(Glenda is 4 years older than him and works as a Fashion designer)98Please respect copyright.PENANAc9BitQFfLc
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...98Please respect copyright.PENANA0CcZeYlljX
(They enjoy spreading fake news on Facebook together, Fatima is a pretty, confident woman he has known since childhood, she is a hotel receptionist)98Please respect copyright.PENANAcLfs7qenUP
"Oh, come on, lighten up Glenda, you know your boyfriend has a love jones for old cars."98Please respect copyright.PENANAPPmAIAKFdo
Don't you Cain?98Please respect copyright.PENANAIWJ0yryrAl
Aww, shut up now Evan, you're just so jealous of my many natural talents that you don't possess and wish you had.98Please respect copyright.PENANAMZvyfQQjn4
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.)98Please respect copyright.PENANAaDH7qQRj4Y
"Hey!"98Please respect copyright.PENANALwLlgjdtRS
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!98Please respect copyright.PENANABjqb1b1CDk
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)98Please respect copyright.PENANAOmkwvUKHza
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?98Please respect copyright.PENANAKPoTE2BBCg
Yeah, replied Evan but it's lining the bottom of my pet lovebirds's cage at the moment...98Please respect copyright.PENANA8cUKwNugQG
"What!"98Please respect copyright.PENANA2LN1DWxvx4
Cain said, did you even try to verify the real location, lattitude and enclosed longitude of the island?
"Naw!"98Please respect copyright.PENANAfANnFU4cGw
Cain, it was a stupid, fake map that someone sent us out of revenge since we're always pranking people on Facebook.98Please respect copyright.PENANAEa7SUllig8
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?"98Please respect copyright.PENANA05c2fSK3eW
Cain grinned. "Yeah," "He is a dumb ass!"98Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ6lfLcYSR
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.98Please respect copyright.PENANAdPJy8fDdUV
"Remember when we were kids?" Cain said, looking at Fatima. "We used to explore the old ruins near our neighborhood."98Please respect copyright.PENANARBT5rYyrAW
Fatima nodded. "Those were simpler times," she said softly.98Please respect copyright.PENANAxyWYgx8E1u
Evan leaned back against a chair. "And now we're chasing pirate gold," he mused. "What a life!"98Please respect copyright.PENANAkBSJg5Wv7k
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?98Please respect copyright.PENANASetg3aYBL6
"Tomorrow," Cain declared, raising his beer bottle, "we follow that map to the letter."98Please respect copyright.PENANA4UgunqKLrw
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."98Please respect copyright.PENANAwGoIUl0gBR
Cain chuckled. Glenda's fiery spirit was part of what drew him to her—the perfect counterbalance to his stern demeanor.98Please respect copyright.PENANAfyfNkJsbFZ
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.98Please respect copyright.PENANARRTn1JfHtd
