The trudge across the Wasteland from Rivet City had taken less time than Ellen expected, but she didn't stop at Megaton regardless. About halfway there it had occurred to her that if she was going to have a chance of passing her visitor off as a recently emerged Vault dweller, she was going to have to bring him in from some distance- and not be seen by Deputy Weld until she did so. So she'd swung around to the west, up along the rock formation that housed Vault 101 (a thought that still gave her a pang or two), and down towards Springvale from the north. One of the outlying houses would do well enough for her and Dogmeat for the night, since Tanya's ants were patrolling the ruins against possible raider incursions.
The house was still standing when she returned from Milliways. "Well," she said, "here we are."
