His attention to detail had become compulsory and this took quite a strain on him. He is very impulsive now. This started to happen when he frequently repulsed his squad due to his small moments in the future. The thought of giving up and receeding wasn't normal F.B.I. tactics. His future expulsion from the F.B.I. put him in a state of polygamy, for lack of having nothing better to do. he couldn't help having only one wife because he was afraid that he would be left again. His wives admired Bob, mostly because he was rich and a polyglot. He picked up these languages in the F.B.I.. He would speak to his wives in many languages.
