If the CIA does wet work/assassination as a matter of course outside the U. S., and they even suspected that Reynolds was the source of the damaging information (and his final interaction with Shepherd left the older man very suspicious, judging from his final facial expression), then Reynolds should have been a corpse inside of 30 days of his new posting. Moreover, as a sr. Case officer, why would Reynolds attempt to contact the woman who he admitted - to her face - endangered by virtue of his job?!
