The door of the study had been locked from the inside, which meant that no one could have entered the room. This allowed them to exit the basement safely without getting caught.

To their surprise, Zach arrived at the garden, dressed in a suit and tie as he mingled with the guests. He had the poise of a gentleman, but they knew this was just a façade.
