Jace nodded his head in response before walking away from the group. Now that they were here, he put his mind to the task at hand and slowly paced around the area, taking everything in. They were inside a deep-set ridge with the walls fairly spaced out. There were more trees inside the ridge than there was flanking them on the tops of the hilltops and surrounding area, so it was a good indication to Jace that there very well could be a G.E.C.K. nearby. There was also a lot of rotting and piled debris in the ridge where rains must have washed all the fallen trees downriver.
	His heart rate begun to speed up at the prospect of the completion of their journey. It had to be here...he felt it in his bones. Although it was a little upsetting that his excursion with Basil was coming to a close, at least they wouldn't have to return home empty-handed. For once in his life, Jace wasn't going to be the useless drunk that always caused fights. He would be looked in the eye by the villagers with confirmation and pride instead of people passing him by, staring at the ground in fear and shame.
	"This place floods when it rains, so if it starts raining again, we need to get out of here quickly. See all of the washed-out trees?" He motioned towards the piles of uprooted trees. "Be careful and watch your step." 
	He continued walking around for a few more minutes until he came across what appeared to be a black hole behind a bunch of backwash that looked as if it was a cave. He slowly walked over to it and moved over a few free limbs. "I think I found the entrance, guys."
	"I must admit I'm impressed, Jace," Kaye said, smirking slightly. 
	Jace hesitated for a moment, waiting for a smart comment to come but none came. "I'm not an idiot like ya'll think."
