Sorry, I hope my popping in doesn't come off rudely or anything.
I just wanted to contribute what I thought might be a realisitc explanation for the events that Hama describes. As Lardman pointed out, Stalker and Tommy and SE are simply on their way to MACV-SOG. No explanation is given. This is a portion of the excerpt from my notes:
Tommy: "Hey, Stalker! Is this the right address? What a dump!"
Stalker: "If this is Pasteur Street, it is!"
Tommy: "What does it say on your orders?"
Stalker: "The same thing it says on your orders, Stormshadow! January 31, 1968, we report to MACV-SOG, Saigon at—“
Barnett: “Don’t sweat it, this is the place, all right! Ol’ speedy-four Corky Barnett been delivering you covert types to this shady address for 364 days, and tomorrow’s my wake-up!”
Interestingly they are standing in front of a building that says 13 Rue Pasteur but according to my notes, MACV was located at 137 Pasteur, but I'm not sure where the SOG office was exactly. I'm curious as to how much Hama knew when he wrote this, because a lot of what's known now about SOG came out many years after the war ended and the information was declassified.
