We're talking about a person who generally lays low (as in, participates in neither public-flashy nor criminal activity, but still holds a mid/low-Status job, and walks about various business in free time), and while has some evasion-handy skills (notably Acting, Disguise and Streetwise), is neither on alert nor has reason to actively avoid detection.

In short, the NPC will only go into all-out 'evasive agent mode' if convinced the party is out to get the NPC, which requires a major screw up.
