(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...359Please respect copyright.PENANACqC09gPPzt
(Raised in an upper class and afluent neighborhood, his mother died when he was young, he was then raised by his father)
"Glenda?"359Please respect copyright.PENANASj96z1rS8O
You are so stupid!359Please respect copyright.PENANAttQ8pbIFBX
"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...359Please respect copyright.PENANAfOkOlVroPY
(Glenda is 4 years older than him and works as a Fashion designer)359Please respect copyright.PENANAE3WGQG78AF
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...359Please respect copyright.PENANAZNleAhIaRG
(They enjoy spreading fake news on Facebook together, Fatima is a pretty, confident woman he has known since childhood, she is a hotel receptionist)359Please respect copyright.PENANAUnH4SlmgPw
"Oh, come on, lighten up Glenda, you know your boyfriend has a love jones for old cars."359Please respect copyright.PENANAG05EnP4sKc
Don't you Cain?359Please respect copyright.PENANAJyyxOK76k4
Aww, shut up now Evan, you're just so jealous of my many natural talents that you don't possess and wish you had.359Please respect copyright.PENANAkO1sZGJIoh
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.)359Please respect copyright.PENANAGFx2TdEceY
"Hey!"359Please respect copyright.PENANAoTIlwyKscJ
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!359Please respect copyright.PENANAIAPwAEH8kN
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)359Please respect copyright.PENANAmOOIQpsG1t
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?359Please respect copyright.PENANAww0ov5q4Wn
Yeah, replied Evan but it's lining the bottom of my pet lovebirds's cage at the moment...359Please respect copyright.PENANAUNF6T2GkEU
"What!"359Please respect copyright.PENANAwoG0LKa8V5
Cain said, did you even try to verify the real location, lattitude and enclosed longitude of the island?
"Naw!"359Please respect copyright.PENANA8zitVWtx46
Cain, it was a stupid, fake map that someone sent us out of revenge since we're always pranking people on Facebook.359Please respect copyright.PENANA0ooB1Dqyj4
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?"359Please respect copyright.PENANAkQZ6Y4wvZp
Cain grinned. "Yeah," "He is a dumb ass!"359Please respect copyright.PENANAAyBhCfTAQy
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.359Please respect copyright.PENANAe8JbkbSVm7
"Remember when we were kids?" Cain said, looking at Fatima. "We used to explore the old ruins near our neighborhood."359Please respect copyright.PENANAZC2yhXZET2
Fatima nodded. "Those were simpler times," she said softly.359Please respect copyright.PENANAZpAcgoRaV1
Evan leaned back against a chair. "And now we're chasing pirate gold," he mused. "What a life!"359Please respect copyright.PENANAjCakrbhUUt
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?359Please respect copyright.PENANAFxzHm2lTR2
"Tomorrow," Cain declared, raising his beer bottle, "we follow that map to the letter."359Please respect copyright.PENANAfgCWkz2871
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."359Please respect copyright.PENANACMo1y0Kqel
Cain chuckled. Glenda's fiery spirit was part of what drew him to her—the perfect counterbalance to his stern demeanor.359Please respect copyright.PENANAJedAiB2lK5
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.359Please respect copyright.PENANAM2o2OnhNP9
