(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...346Please respect copyright.PENANARPkpqxfIKZ
(Raised in an upper class and afluent neighborhood, his mother died when he was young, he was then raised by his father)
"Glenda?"346Please respect copyright.PENANAmK0QoLNsxb
You are so stupid!346Please respect copyright.PENANA0HGzyynj2z
"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...346Please respect copyright.PENANAEE0H3i0qWo
(Glenda is 4 years older than him and works as a Fashion designer)346Please respect copyright.PENANA8bLcfYEXKQ
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...346Please respect copyright.PENANADRoJxnOTLQ
(They enjoy spreading fake news on Facebook together, Fatima is a pretty, confident woman he has known since childhood, she is a hotel receptionist)346Please respect copyright.PENANAwe6nTB1qeK
"Oh, come on, lighten up Glenda, you know your boyfriend has a love jones for old cars."346Please respect copyright.PENANA9diL8eaB4J
Don't you Cain?346Please respect copyright.PENANAidqejks5XZ
Aww, shut up now Evan, you're just so jealous of my many natural talents that you don't possess and wish you had.346Please respect copyright.PENANAy88aU9RF9W
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.)346Please respect copyright.PENANAyHWKwdPWCB
"Hey!"346Please respect copyright.PENANA0yJGT36ARz
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!346Please respect copyright.PENANAIFQUrNXjN1
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)346Please respect copyright.PENANA48BUS5lrU6
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?346Please respect copyright.PENANAEjOfSBsi1l
Yeah, replied Evan but it's lining the bottom of my pet lovebirds's cage at the moment...346Please respect copyright.PENANAWMDB1wFA0V
"What!"346Please respect copyright.PENANAsQCDaWulTr
Cain said, did you even try to verify the real location, lattitude and enclosed longitude of the island?
"Naw!"346Please respect copyright.PENANAur3SqcvAWJ
Cain, it was a stupid, fake map that someone sent us out of revenge since we're always pranking people on Facebook.346Please respect copyright.PENANAimwwjLKaKu
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?"346Please respect copyright.PENANABg7c3ZzRC2
Cain grinned. "Yeah," "He is a dumb ass!"346Please respect copyright.PENANAlUud59TiAn
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAAnV7hrHTfY
"Remember when we were kids?" Cain said, looking at Fatima. "We used to explore the old ruins near our neighborhood."346Please respect copyright.PENANA3dlGwf4r38
Fatima nodded. "Those were simpler times," she said softly.346Please respect copyright.PENANAKGr3NGQ24a
Evan leaned back against a chair. "And now we're chasing pirate gold," he mused. "What a life!"346Please respect copyright.PENANA4nGVZO8fzJ
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?346Please respect copyright.PENANAjVJUVOzCnF
"Tomorrow," Cain declared, raising his beer bottle, "we follow that map to the letter."346Please respect copyright.PENANABzR8ApvJ8K
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."346Please respect copyright.PENANAlcv80eXcWH
Cain chuckled. Glenda's fiery spirit was part of what drew him to her—the perfect counterbalance to his stern demeanor.346Please respect copyright.PENANAf7CcPO65T9
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANApbxuU4Wm5L
