"Sure." Scott agreed. What's one more source I can't name.
"I heard about the resignation from the White House. Phil Mus- grave. He said the President was very concerned and wanted a briefing from my perspective. He's beginning to feel some heat on the computer crimes and doesn't have a clue. I figure they need to get up to speed real fast."
"It's about time," Scott said out loud. "They've been ignoring this forever."
"And," Senator Deere added, "they want you there, too. Tomorrow, 9A.M."
The hair on Scott's neck stood on end. A command performance from the White House?
"Why, why me?
"You seem to know more than they do. They think you're wired into the hackers and Homosoto."
"I'll be there," Scott managed to get out. "What do I do . . .?"
"Call Musgrave's office at the White House."
"I bet the paper's going nuts. I didn't tell them I had left or where I was going," Scott laughed.
