(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...324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCPS2KsVbI
(Raised in an upper class and afluent neighborhood, his mother died when he was young, he was then raised by his father)
"Glenda?"324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi40xTadNz
You are so stupid!324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlrtH7qLLp
"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...324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI24QnZoXdK
(Glenda is 4 years older than him and works as a Fashion designer)324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SBlT79Kp3
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...324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx23DolthXM
(They enjoy spreading fake news on Facebook together, Fatima is a pretty, confident woman he has known since childhood, she is a hotel receptionist)324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgk0duFRMg
"Oh, come on, lighten up Glenda, you know your boyfriend has a love jones for old cars."324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9t8bmCAOi
Don't you Cain?324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN8XRiR93g
Aww, shut up now Evan, you're just so jealous of my many natural talents that you don't possess and wish you had.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRakeFZ9v0
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.)324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8UslhVXDO
"Hey!"324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D9iNFEOOI
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!324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyd4LnAsNL
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)324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IDflG6glZ
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?324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0ab0ZP5Dn
Yeah, replied Evan but it's lining the bottom of my pet lovebirds's cage at the moment...324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfkl4RXOhh
"What!"324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjUxl9Ahrh
Cain said, did you even try to verify the real location, lattitude and enclosed longitude of the island?
"Naw!"324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54DkmClVgo
Cain, it was a stupid, fake map that someone sent us out of revenge since we're always pranking people on Facebook.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSwQQQWbEt
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?"324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeZbBn9Anz
Cain grinned. "Yeah," "He is a dumb ass!"324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrue7cyKSo
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.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbGbLh2K0Z
"Remember when we were kids?" Cain said, looking at Fatima. "We used to explore the old ruins near our neighborhood."324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMCgBhp9Ch
Fatima nodded. "Those were simpler times," she said softly.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhkBJP6Equ
Evan leaned back against a chair. "And now we're chasing pirate gold," he mused. "What a life!"324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANaA5EE55j
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?324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96wtR0c0oV
"Tomorrow," Cain declared, raising his beer bottle, "we follow that map to the letter."324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpzMarpYUG
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."324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YF3WZRqva
Cain chuckled. Glenda's fiery spirit was part of what drew him to her—the perfect counterbalance to his stern demeanor.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR7inuyJuE
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.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHN80uFUwn
