(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...325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FZ7sQfEwz
(Raised in an upper class and afluent neighborhood, his mother died when he was young, he was then raised by his father)
"Glenda?"325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVXxgSG0nZ
You are so stupid!325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVa2NmfoRe
"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...325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyGrGSMj8O
(Glenda is 4 years older than him and works as a Fashion designer)325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzbMFrA4XG
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...325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95qwxRNPR7
(They enjoy spreading fake news on Facebook together, Fatima is a pretty, confident woman he has known since childhood, she is a hotel receptionist)325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T8yjE4KYm
"Oh, come on, lighten up Glenda, you know your boyfriend has a love jones for old cars."325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqMp1P8rqv
Don't you Cain?325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q5TzzPVM1
Aww, shut up now Evan, you're just so jealous of my many natural talents that you don't possess and wish you had.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpPwmA4CeZ
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.)325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMWraVxP9M
"Hey!"325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH3wDF5U7G
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!325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLp9U4rQke
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)325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK5cYXmqx0
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?325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEbNoCIgbX
Yeah, replied Evan but it's lining the bottom of my pet lovebirds's cage at the moment...325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBb9UFpBzR
"What!"325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CUHHibBmF
Cain said, did you even try to verify the real location, lattitude and enclosed longitude of the island?
"Naw!"325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2A4FDnh3a
Cain, it was a stupid, fake map that someone sent us out of revenge since we're always pranking people on Facebook.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXe64xMopN
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?"325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvLWBSaxaZ
Cain grinned. "Yeah," "He is a dumb ass!"325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7aYq5NnwI
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.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBYb7io6KH
"Remember when we were kids?" Cain said, looking at Fatima. "We used to explore the old ruins near our neighborhood."325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEbauF2yeJ
Fatima nodded. "Those were simpler times," she said softly.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcRXBfrQoI
Evan leaned back against a chair. "And now we're chasing pirate gold," he mused. "What a life!"325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHWBNqW5j5
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?325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IKraBQGqE
"Tomorrow," Cain declared, raising his beer bottle, "we follow that map to the letter."325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq1bMaxMdW
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."325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXxmdqTL79
Cain chuckled. Glenda's fiery spirit was part of what drew him to her—the perfect counterbalance to his stern demeanor.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoz1kb54X0
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.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPM3hjKSPl
