There were too many unanswered questions.
If Zero was truly a traitor, why keep her alive for so long? If he had calculated correctly, she had been in the asylum for about a year now.
He thought about the information she might have something worth dragging out her death.
More importantly, who wanted her dead badly enough to stage an execution in Highgate instead of killing her quietly?
Sinnett ran a hand through his hair. "You think the Warden knows we're coming?" he said, pulling Asher out of his thoughts.
"They will soon," Asher muttered. "The guild's contact on the inside gave us an opening, but that won't last long."
Nova frowned. "Who's the contact?"
"Zero herself and his spies," Asher said simply. "Someone with access to the lower levels. No name, just a codename....Number 4. He'll guide us to Zero, but after that, we're on our own."
"He's reliable enough," Sinnett said with pride as he flaunted his hair, earning an irritated gaze from Nova.
