Slowly the others gathered on the roof beside Helena, each keeping low and trying not to grab the attention of the soldiers. They remained unaware of the Host's presence. They began to progress along the rooftops, when a sharp smell met their noses, like a combination of the Eve's smell and ozone.
The various shacks and buildings of the city were set along a hill, and thus they were at varying levels. The Hosts had been progressing along without gaining elevation, keeping a higher section of the city on their left.
Now the smell was definitely coming from their left. When they inevitably looked, they got a brief glance of a man who looked familiar. He was wearing a thick winter coat, despite the warm weather, and his eyes were covered by goggles.
One of the Adams.
He took a moment to stare at them, then stepped away from the edge, disappearing into another part of the city.

Clarissa stared at the Adam before he left. Despite her wildly swinging emotions and temporary insanity, she had to wonder why in the world he was wearing a coat during hot weather. Meh. The real question is whether we follow or run.
"I think we should follow him," she stated. "He had an obvious chance to fight us and yet didn't. Maybe we'll be able to get information out of him without having to use our powers." She looked at the others and waited for their opinions.

Helena nodded and agreed quietly. "I think so too. No one just goes around looking suspicious like that to wander off for no good reason. I say we follow as well." Her gaze moved toward the other two that had yet to provide input.

Elizabeth started to speak, then paused. Then, a moment later: "He obviously knew he were here. He wants us to follow, either into a trap or for some other reason. But hell, we've gotten out of everything else so far, so if it's a trap we'll goddamn make it through that, too."

Having come to a mutual conclusion, the Hosts climbed up after the disappeared Adam. As they reached the next street, they saw him across the street, standing in the shade of another level of ghetto huts. He reached out to them and beckoned, then disappeared. As they approached the street, they noticed that this was another roadblock - they were behind the roadblock, but there were soldiers milling about behind it, and there was a truck here with an M2 bolted to the top.
For obvious reasons they hesitated, and it seemed the Adam noticed, because he appeared again, beckoning more forcefully, before slipping away behind a building.
