You know, I just worry that someone might start wondering if you're trying to be a little too helpful. :p
If you mean the doctor/Numbers, that's explained. They know I don't kill unless it's necessary; that whole conversation was me justifying a way to keep those people alive while taking them out of circulation, and putting pressure on the real objective to 'sweeten the pot', as it were. As for why I'm willing to help them, there are reasons and then there are reasons, and one of those reasons explains why I get extra latitude on things that would normally indicate disloyalty.
One of the other reasons is that the doctor knows I'm not loyal to him- we're partners by contract, not by ideology. As long as I get what he wants done done, and don't screw it up, he doesn't care so much how I go about it. I don't really get the missions that have to be done one specific way (except when that way is basically "blow up all these guys' things"). This is intentional.
If you mean that somebody at the TSAB is going to connect the dots, wonder who did this, and why they did it... well, that's eventually going to happen. I've not considered the long-term ramifications of this nearly as well as I should, and I-the-author plan to use that. I did cover the short term; the only one there who saw anything of me was the guy I caught, and he didn't see enough to ID me before I knocked him out, so there's nothing there to connect this to me/JS. Also, the evidence is good- enough that they can prove it's not a setup, and justify going after the Syndicate. The real problem there is going to come in the post-case wrapup, when one of the people there says "Hey, somebody had to have gift-wrapped these guys... and somebody had to have destroyed all those bases... we should probably track those people down."
