(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...298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16MT1O8Ydy
(Raised in an upper class and afluent neighborhood, his mother died when he was young, he was then raised by his father)
"Glenda?"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LEtAqP3tc
You are so stupid!298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3RsN1NnA4
"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...298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiOt1QKySP
(Glenda is 4 years older than him and works as a Fashion designer)298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfVfQarsUC
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...298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToP8QlVjsD
(They enjoy spreading fake news on Facebook together, Fatima is a pretty, confident woman he has known since childhood, she is a hotel receptionist)298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DtFR8cUwM
"Oh, come on, lighten up Glenda, you know your boyfriend has a love jones for old cars."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnqEvxRLDA
Don't you Cain?298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUvKt0dbo4
Aww, shut up now Evan, you're just so jealous of my many natural talents that you don't possess and wish you had.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSM2jjgWYy
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.)298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyswCexbnAE
"Hey!"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g68JRCQNH
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!298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoALovVI9C
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)298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiU5h5LouS
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?298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tlnIRVnah
Yeah, replied Evan but it's lining the bottom of my pet lovebirds's cage at the moment...298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKELVYZYOZM
"What!"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYpW9rT89S
Cain said, did you even try to verify the real location, lattitude and enclosed longitude of the island?
"Naw!"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU5esoIeRt
Cain, it was a stupid, fake map that someone sent us out of revenge since we're always pranking people on Facebook.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6QMYLrDSx
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?"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzmBrv11uV
Cain grinned. "Yeah," "He is a dumb ass!"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS86OZDfnp
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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDySn0LQgYZ
"Remember when we were kids?" Cain said, looking at Fatima. "We used to explore the old ruins near our neighborhood."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjH6OqcN4X
Fatima nodded. "Those were simpler times," she said softly.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvQF5mIdUi
Evan leaned back against a chair. "And now we're chasing pirate gold," he mused. "What a life!"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJplFQBbP8A
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?298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeadamJYQ4i
"Tomorrow," Cain declared, raising his beer bottle, "we follow that map to the letter."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UtsRds0zg
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."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFTrQ92ziS
Cain chuckled. Glenda's fiery spirit was part of what drew him to her—the perfect counterbalance to his stern demeanor.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglq09VUdEk
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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0yYyl1bgK
