Johnny had come looking for a secretary who would let him sift through files, he hadn't expected there to be a man. Not in this age. And he certainly hadn't expected to see a face that he knew when he turned around to address the voice that came at him from behind. A voice, he had to admit after he saw that face, that had been a bit familiar.
Max knew him. He knew Max.
Max knew about Johnny Outlaw. He had also visited Max as a ghost. But even before that, Max had known - if not intimately, then by face and by reputation and by name - Daniel Letham.
Max was also too aware and mentally snappy for Johnny to hope that there wouldn't be recognition there. So he just raised a hand in greeting. It wasn't really the best time for a reunion.
