SCOFFER: (into phone) -- Donald Welston -- was blown to

pieces less than two hours ago as he was pulling into his

driveway. I suggest you stay in your house until you hear

from me or from Lambert Whipp. If you are contacted

by any other living being you are to regard the

communica- tion as suspect. Good night.

He hangs up the phone, looks across at Lambert.

WHIPP: This is out of containment. We'll have to inform

the President.

SCOFFER: (looks up at the ceiling) I don't see we have any

choice.
