Nobody in Big Town

Question

I've saved Red and Shorty, brought them back to Big Town, healed Timebomb and fixed the Sentry Bot. Then I went exploring further.
After some time, when I traveled back to the city, there was the Sentry Bot and a Protectron, but nobody else. Almost immediately about 5 Super Mutants attacked, so I shot them. But there is noone around aside from the bots. All the buildings are empty and there are no bodies.

I want my Lucky-8-Ball!

Anyone has any tips?

Try waiting in Megaton for a week and coming back, they may find their way back, if they are alive.

If you're on PC, you can use
