(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...194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO4cYTUpFE
(Raised in an upper class and afluent neighborhood, his mother died when he was young, he was then raised by his father)
"Glenda?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfvw6d9zfI
You are so stupid!194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDy5MXAJjl
"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...194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLOykdK3mK
(Glenda is 4 years older than him and works as a Fashion designer)194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASQTkDwJIZ
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...194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkEy4n9j8T
(They enjoy spreading fake news on Facebook together, Fatima is a pretty, confident woman he has known since childhood, she is a hotel receptionist)194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdSLCX0XWw
"Oh, come on, lighten up Glenda, you know your boyfriend has a love jones for old cars."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNqqbpMMZu
Don't you Cain?194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Nc3rR3xg
Aww, shut up now Evan, you're just so jealous of my many natural talents that you don't possess and wish you had.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYIdJC5cMx
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.)194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY03gUYo3CW
"Hey!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvldAzhOC7J
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!194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEurgZ21iHZ
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)194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7IIBnkgAX
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?194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXG1AoNbUO
Yeah, replied Evan but it's lining the bottom of my pet lovebirds's cage at the moment...194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64e7dVYhL0
"What!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJmQCfBHIB
Cain said, did you even try to verify the real location, lattitude and enclosed longitude of the island?
"Naw!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFByrpviKuL
Cain, it was a stupid, fake map that someone sent us out of revenge since we're always pranking people on Facebook.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvufOjv8JrW
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?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOddrENcfu7
Cain grinned. "Yeah," "He is a dumb ass!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21lrSlanvl
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1OpMVgtDx
"Remember when we were kids?" Cain said, looking at Fatima. "We used to explore the old ruins near our neighborhood."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lqplpurcw
Fatima nodded. "Those were simpler times," she said softly.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTTeTA6lUX
Evan leaned back against a chair. "And now we're chasing pirate gold," he mused. "What a life!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHlQTGDuK7
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?194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkuDvN9fWh
"Tomorrow," Cain declared, raising his beer bottle, "we follow that map to the letter."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86al4aM6qP
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."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhkmqs5aDN
Cain chuckled. Glenda's fiery spirit was part of what drew him to her—the perfect counterbalance to his stern demeanor.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimuzj5zYCZ
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFXCVgzFam
