I think he did actually get assigned places and did other work, probably quite well (or they wouldn't've let him get away with this crap)--didn't he get sent to Paris because of the impending Barricades, to gather info as a spy?--but everybody around him knew that he had this bug-fuck obsession left over from the skip-tracer portion of his career, and let it slide: Fuckin' Inspector Javert and his hobby-horse again, man. Just nod and smile and hope he'll eventually shut up, so we can get some actual shit DONE today.
