Counterspy - The Case of the Kleptomaniac Clues

A shady character named John Omak and a couple of his henchmen are waiting for Mr. Trafford to return to his hotel room. As he walks in, Omak says "Going on a little uh trip, Mr. Trafford?" He says "What the ...." Omak says "I wanted to see you before you left San Francisco". Trafford says "Hey, who are you and how did you get into my hotel room?" Omak says "What's the difference?" Trafford says "I'll call the manager!" Omak says "Drop that phone, Trafford". He hangs it up, and Omak says "That's better". Trafford says "What is this? What's that gun for? What do you want?" Omak says "I want that briefcase you're carrying". Trafford says "What?" Omak says "The briefcase. Hand it over and you won't get hurt". Trafford says "I'll do no such thing, you hear me? You won't get away with this". Omak says "Shut up. Sit down in that chair. We'll just tie you up so you won't make no fuss while we're blowing out of here". Trafford says "Why are you doing this? Just why?" Omak says "For dough, what else? I don't know what's inside this thing, but certain people are willing to pay plenty to find out". Meanwhile, Mitchell Monroe has just returned to San Francisco on a ship from across the Pacific. As he exits the ship, he finds Elise Pomeroy in a waiting taxi. She says "Well, Mitchell, you glad to be back in San Francisco again, or is that a foolish question?" Mitchell says "In view of being met at the boat by you, love, let's say it's a superfluous one". Elise says "Darling, always the appropriate sentiment". Mitchell says "Well, the Orient has its fascination, Elise, but it does not have you". Elise says "I hope it was dull, of course". Mitchell says "Oh, business was quite good, but nothing else. And speaking of business, how is our little curio shop?" Elise says "Excellent, darling. I'm expecting an interesting shipment soon". In a few minutes, their taxi arrives that their curio shop and they are met by their employee, Dorian. Elise asks her "Were there any messages while I was gone?" Dorian says "No, Miss Pomeroy, but there's a man waiting to see you in your office. His name is Mr. Omak".
