TheWoWDBJust make sure that you enter the room in stealth to get the credit for the quest. Didnt have such a good laugh on myself in a long time after I finally figured it out.

Want to keep hold of this hot looking eyewear?
Even if you stash the glasses in your bank, turning in the quest will make 'em disappear. But don't lose hope! There is a workaround:
- Before turning in the quest, remove the sunglasses and sell them to a vendor. ([npc=103792] would be appropriate.)
- Turn in the quest.
- Return to a vendor and buy them back!
Ta-da!
EDIT: fixed link.
Note: if you have graphics quality set to < 5 or have manually disabled projected textures, you will not be able to see the blood trail on the ground. Turn it on to follow the trail, or simply go to the upper floor of the Legerdemain Lounge to complete the last stage of the quest.

Description
We need to find out who is behind the assassination of Amber Kearnen. It won't be long before SI:7 realizes that their agent is MIA and comes sniffing around The Hall of Shadows. Here, take these stylish spy glasses and set them to scan for traces of hemoglobin. I've taken the liberty of calibrating them specifically for Amber Kearnen's blood. Follow the blood trail back to the culprits, but make sure to stay out of sight! Report back to us when you've got the information we need.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Spy vs. Spy
SI:7 is the espionage and intel branch of the Alliance. They are based out of Stormwind City and headed up by Master Mathias Shaw. As of late, they have been acting, shall we say, peculiar. I would like for you to send some of our people out to assess the situation.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mystery at Citrine Bay
The Burning Legion invades Azeroth, and SI:7 is wasting valuable resources hunting down and assassinating one of their top agents? Something isn't adding up... We need to find out how deep this goes. Why was Amber Kearnen being hunted by her own organization?
