Jace gritted his teeth in anger, hating the fact that the ghoul knew more about the G.E.C.K. than he did. He knew he wasn't a genius, but as he shared a sidelong glance at Basil, he saw the excitement and looked impressed by the  guy's knowledge.  He managed to stand up on staggering feet, feeling his strength coming back a little more. He turned away from them all and slowly staggered off.
     "I won't be far. You seem to have things under control here," he said before walking towards the ghoul. As he passed, he paused beside him and turned to glare in his direction. "Basil isn't a naive child. he knows what he is doing...I think, and the next time you mock him I will peel the rest of what skin you have left off your slimy bones."  He then continuef to walk off, not even sparing him a glance. How could Basil give them any information about their mission? He didn't trust them any more than he could throw them and in his current state, that wasn't far.
     Kaye didn't even pay attention at his retreating form as she was intrigued, listening attentively. "You mean there is hope for this dry hunk of dirt?"
