Silver awoke in a strangely comfortable bed. She could hear people from a different room, possibly downstairs. She look over to the other side of the room and she saw a redheaded woman with a wicked smile on her face.
"Nova?" Silver whispered.
"That's right!" The redheaded woman said. "I knew you couldn't get away, nobody ever gets away."
"Where am I?" Silver mumbled.
"Isn't it obvious? You're back in Megaton!"
"No!" Silver screamed. She jumped out of bed, she ran to the door. She pushed it open and then she fell down the stairs. She was now in a crowded saloon, many drunk customers were now laughing at her fall.
"Silver!" Moriarty yelled with glee. "You are finally back! I got a customer already!"
"I'm not working for you anymore!" Silver yelled as she stood up. She started toward the door.
"You're not leaving!" Moriarty laughed. "Take a look at your neck!"
"What..?" Silver said as she felt what was around her neck. "What is this?"
"It's slave collar he got from Paradise Falls." The vault dweller, who was also in the saloon, said. "I am so sorry Silver, I didn't know it was going to be like this."
"I don't care about any collar!" Silver spat. She walked to the door.
"But I've got the controller…" Moriarty laughed. "I can make it explode at anytime!"
Silver thought for a moment, then she relented. "What do I have to do?"
"Just like old times!" Nova laughed as she walked down the steps.
"Who is it?" Silver asked.
"Just a man down the road." Nova said. "He paid big bucks for you!"
"Third house on the right." Moriarty said as Silver left the noisy saloon.
She walked along the familiar platform, she was mad. She wanted to run, but she knew she would die if she did that. She decided she would go ahead with the job, hoping this prompted Moriarty to let her go.
She walked up to the door of the third house on the right. She didn't remember this house ever having any owner. She knocked on the door and a pleasant voice.
"Come on in." The voice said.
Silver opened the door to reveal a man sitting in a comfy armchair. He wasn't like anyone else in town, he was wearing a clean white suit and a black fedora.
"Who are you?" Silver said as she walked in.
"My name is Mr. Burke." The man laughed as he stood up. "I can earn your freedom."
"You can?" Silver said happily. "How?"
"I have ways." Mr. Burke said. "But, you have to do something for me."
"Anything!" Silver said as she began to unbutton her shirt.
"No! Not that!" Mr. Burke yelled. "Something better."
