Joe Mannix : Well, what can I do for you, Miss Warren?
Cindy Warren : Well, um, after I left headquarters last night, I didn't feel like going back to that house, so I checked into a motel in West L.A. I was there I guess about maybe ten minutes and I got a phone call from a man, and, uh, he threatened me.
Joe Mannix : Do you know who it was?
Cindy Warren : No.
Joe Mannix : Well, what exactly did the man say, exactly, word for word?
Cindy Warren : Well, he said... he said something like, "Did Monty rap to anyone before he died?"
Joe Mannix : What did you tell him?
Cindy Warren : I said I didn't think so. And then, uh... Hey, I'm not exactly sure how all this went down, but, well, he kept hitting on, "Did Monty and Victor Jury talk?" Oh, yeah, he asked if Monty made any phone calls.
Joe Mannix : Did he?
Cindy Warren : Well, not after Victor and I got there.
Joe Mannix : Did he mention anything about Monty's mother or buttons... or General D.?
Cindy Warren : No.
Joe Mannix : Anything else?
Cindy Warren : Yeah. The last thing he said to me was, "If you talk, Miss Warren, you're going to wind up like Monty did."
Joe Mannix : Talk about what?
Cindy Warren : I don't know.
Joe Mannix : Have you any idea?
Cindy Warren : No, I asked him and he hung up.
[Peggy walks in with some coffee]
Joe Mannix : Peggy, see if you can get John Randolph on the phone, huh?
Peggy Fair : The postal inspector of the Federal Building?
Joe Mannix : Yeah, ask him if he can find out if there's any mail being held for Monty Dawes at a general-delivery office anywhere in this area.
Peggy Fair : Right.
Cindy Warren : It's really weird. I'm caught up in something, but I don't know what it is. Why me? I don't know why I'm involved. I don't know what I'm going to do to get out.
Joe Mannix : Well, the first thing to do is find a safe place for you to stay until we come up with some answers.
