(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...317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaqh6lhNMK
(Raised in an upper class and afluent neighborhood, his mother died when he was young, he was then raised by his father)
"Glenda?"317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAJcxxRugi
You are so stupid!317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDAlpU7dUK
"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...317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEc1IDB4ZD
(Glenda is 4 years older than him and works as a Fashion designer)317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbMh1iBRkF
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...317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl13yYKueKI
(They enjoy spreading fake news on Facebook together, Fatima is a pretty, confident woman he has known since childhood, she is a hotel receptionist)317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJwg0pizr1
"Oh, come on, lighten up Glenda, you know your boyfriend has a love jones for old cars."317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuihRZOllUL
Don't you Cain?317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBL2TKHiWb
Aww, shut up now Evan, you're just so jealous of my many natural talents that you don't possess and wish you had.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw485N1bgAE
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.)317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCZsZbkDUT
"Hey!"317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY7mXhi4JF
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!317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcvUHA8y4W
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)317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5XbbzilgG
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?317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzMWvSXTDG
Yeah, replied Evan but it's lining the bottom of my pet lovebirds's cage at the moment...317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi42fXyv7u
"What!"317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkvGyFNOCm
Cain said, did you even try to verify the real location, lattitude and enclosed longitude of the island?
"Naw!"317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcBSUCaDcH
Cain, it was a stupid, fake map that someone sent us out of revenge since we're always pranking people on Facebook.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuK6SUk8Bh
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?"317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF05nDQ0C2
Cain grinned. "Yeah," "He is a dumb ass!"317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAPnZRTppi
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSmwhnIaLX
"Remember when we were kids?" Cain said, looking at Fatima. "We used to explore the old ruins near our neighborhood."317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1XSp3gQwu
Fatima nodded. "Those were simpler times," she said softly.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBzoz7BaTP
Evan leaned back against a chair. "And now we're chasing pirate gold," he mused. "What a life!"317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIheXRMBjE
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?317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUinnIEu9Y
"Tomorrow," Cain declared, raising his beer bottle, "we follow that map to the letter."317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QYTaKmdze
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."317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAB49rsxzW
Cain chuckled. Glenda's fiery spirit was part of what drew him to her—the perfect counterbalance to his stern demeanor.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AnYRDC7Gt
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTLJgU9F2p
