Zach wondered who it might be. Maybe it was one of the club members who had come to share their thoughts and conspire with him in the twilight of dawn. Maybe it was the Underworld's spy and infiltrator that had come to clear out trouble before it could go from a pile of rubble to a mountain.
After all, the longer the Underworld let Zach grow, the stronger and the more of a threat he would become to their plans. He was honestly surprised they hadn't tried to kill him at all this year, considering their efforts last year.
It wasn't like he was hiding in the Academy, either. His trips into the sewers with the other club members were the perfect opportunity to launch an ambush and get rid of him.
It was a shame they hadn't tried. It would have been easier to find them if they willingly offered themselves up to him.
Zach opened the door, full of expectation.
