Was some sort of spy or secret agent. I was on some sort of mission,
and when to my hotel room. Or rather, my 2nd hotel room, I was
actually staying at another room for safety reasons. It was pretty
nice looking, but was a Howard Johnson. While approaching the
desk, I was told that the manager wanted to talk to me. I did (it
was a woman) and she told me that my room had been broken into.

So I go to my room and find it has been searched, but find a package.
It's a note or so saying something to the effect that 2 aquaintances
have been kidnapped, and unless I give something to them
(password?), they will die (buried alive?). But then I look at the note,
and notice that the deadline had already passed, apparently I was a
day late.

(obviously inspired by watching the newish Casino Royale last night. Kinda)

Was in some sort of big luxury hotel. Went to the swimming pool. There were a bunch of Germans there. They acted very rude, and I made comments to that effect, though not to them. To someone else?.

Dreamt I was the security chief of an embassy or spy or something. I was waiting around for another spy to get a message to me. The head of the embassy ordered something to eat, and got a thing full of sardines. I asked him to wait, that there might be a message from the spy in it. but then I looked, and wasn't.

Then I looked at some cookies on a sheet in a refrigerator. Not there. Then I looked at the wrapping the fish (?) came in, more like corn husks though, and the message was there, written near the top. I was just about to try putting the words in order.
