The Dragonborn is essentially brought to the Abandoned Shack by Astrid, and while it could be argued that she most likely got help, depending on where the Dragonborn slept it seems unlikely her kidnapping could have gone unnoticed. How in the world did she actually do it? Astrid is only human, that much is certain, and her humanity is shown clearly when she strikes a deal with the Penitus Oculatus in order to have the Dragonborn killed.
However, this is a terrible deal to make. Who in their right mind would trust the head of an Imperial security team, when they're from the Dark Brotherhood themselves? Astrid's trust is perhaps one of the greatest storytelling flaws in the entire game.
As an assassin and the leader of the guild, she definitely should have known better. And yet, she falls into Maro's trap easily. It's no secret that Astrid's view on the guild's rules and regulations are revolutionary and even modern. They stray away from the roots of the Dark Brotherhood, and yet, for some reason the other members, from child vampire Babette to even Festus Krex to a degree, stand by her side without question.
It's difficult to say why this is the case. The respect and loyalty she receives doesn't actually make any sense, since she's not really doing anything great to improve the group's standing in Skyrim or to prove herself.
So, why does everyone respect her? Perhaps she's just charismatic, but one would think among assassins, much more is needed than just the right words at the right time. Sithis is the patron saint of all Dark Brotherhood members. By his side is the Night Mother, a real person who once killed all her children in exchange to becoming Sithis' bride. Sithis is the representation of all things dark, and with the ability of the Night Mother to speak from beyond grave, it's clear that the two of them wield great, mysterious power.
The Night Mother may not be able to move or fight, but she works in strange ways that could be considered supernatural. As such, she has power that Astrid wouldn't be able to resist or fight against. Despite this, Astrid shows not regard or fear towards the Night Mother and certainly not towards Sithis, as she invents her own rules for the guild.
Sithis and the Night Mother aside, there's another reason why logically Astrid should be respecting the Dark Brotherhood's original Five Tenets. Sign up for free! What do you need help on? Cancel X.

It was a good kill. Old crone had it coming. And you saved a group of urchins, to boot. Ah, but there is a slight You see, that little Aretino boy was looking for the Dark Brotherhood. For me, and my associates. Grelod the Kind was, by all rights, a Dark Brotherhood contract. A kill A kill you must repay. Funny you should ask. If you turn around, you'll notice my guests.
I've "collected" them from The here and now. That's what matters. You see, there's a contract out on one of them, and that person can't leave this room alive. Go on, see if you can figure it out. Make your choice. Make your kill. I just want to observe At this point, you can decide whether to kill one of the three hostages or kill Astrid and initiate the quest "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood!
When Cicero and the Night Mother arrive to the Sanctuary, Astrid becomes weary of the Keeper's presence which is seen when you ask her about whether things will change on the matter: "Very little.
You have my word on that. The Night Mother represents a chapter in the Dark Brotherhood's history that has long since been closed.
