Adam and his men walked into the nearest street of west Petra as they walked out of the woods. He was walking slowly at the front and others were still behind him at the same pace.
At the first house, Adam lifted his hands after taking a long caution for any turns that may be charged at them from any angle and knocked thus on the door.
The door was made from wood and its knocking noises kept going into the house every minute. Even when the occupant of the house heard these noises, he did not go to open the door no matter how much the noises continued.
He was scared. His thoughts were that: "after so much effort for this day not to come to pass, it thus eventually happened and their blood will serve as food to the blood mongers of the night."
