Carlton Wells, the owner and proprieter of the Collinsport Inn and Diner poured himself a cup of coffee behind the counter as Maggie Evans cleaned up to close. There was only two guests as Wells checked the clock.

"Maggie," he looked up. "Before you leave, can you leave the bottles for the milk man and put up the chairs ?"

"Sure," She smiled the grin that made all the boys in town fall in love with her. She heard the bells ring on the inn doors and looked up. "Seems you have another guest."

"Better help her, shouldn't I ?" Welles grinned and headed to her. She was a quite lovely girl with blue-green eyes and dark brown hair. Her overcoat was closed up tight as she opened it to her bright green pants suit. She sort of resembled the Collins Governess.

"Hi," She started. "Susan Hilton. I have a reservation."

"Yup," Welles checked his book. "Last room too."

"Can someone take my bags up ?" Susan asked. "I'd like to get something to eat."

"Sure," Welles signed her in. "Make it fast. Diner closes at eleven."

Susan Hilton turned on her heel and recognized someone at the counter.

Sitting by him, she glanced the menu over.

"Hi, I'm Maggie. What would you like ?"

"Any clam chowder left ?"

"Sure !" Maggie smiled.

"That, a salad and some tea."

"Take just a minute." Maggie put down her eating utensils and turned. Susan turned to the man next to her.

"Max, get anything yet."

"Enough," Smart looked up and sipped his coffee. "We're in a lot of trouble, 99."

"Why ?"

"The chowder's not that good."

"Max, the case." Agent 99 responded. "Did you meet the informant ?"

"Yes," Smart distinguished his cigarette in the ashtray. "No one knows where the microfilm is. Could be hidden at Collinwood or anywhere in town. It's probably wherever Stoddard was when he was killed."

"Any clues ?" 99 grinned as Maggie brought her chowder, salad and tea.

"Not really," Maxwell Smart responded secretly. "It all depends on what we can learn from Stoddard's widow tomorrow. We'll need to talk to her."

"I think you're right." 99 swallowed her chowder and drank her tea.

"I know I'm right." Smart responded. "She may be the key to the case."

"No, about the chowder." Agent 99 Susan Hilton took the pepper and seasoned it. "It really isn't very good !"
