Chapter 1: Meeting at the Cafe
It had been eons since Jackson Cohen had seen his cousin Nora when he encountered here at a seaside cafe one late summer afternoon. They had been best friends during their youth due to their shared love of adventure and imagination. However, a falling out between their parents (Nora's father was against their marriage) caused them to lose touch.
At their first encounter, Nora was with two girlfriends, and when Jackson introduced himself, she claimed to have a cousin with no such name and demanded he leave or else she would call the police on him.
Completely stunned, Jackson returned to his apartment. Later, he received a message via instagram (apparently Nora had found his profile) that they should meet up the next day at the same cafe. Jackson now was suspicious of her, but he felt he had to take a chance.
When they got together the next afternoon, Nora tried to pretend like the whole incident the previous day had never taken place. Instead, she eagerly talked about her new business venture called Desert Adventures. Contestants spent three days and two nights in the desert on a mission trying to find something. Whoever found it received an award of $1,500.
Nora insisted that Jackson join her on the next Desert Adventure program in which they would be trying to find a hidden treasure. She promised it would be a great way to connect again. Jackson was reluctant due to her sudden shift in behavior, but he agreed.
