*** It's a Oxford House communal dwelling for people undergoing rehab or similar circumstances, probably set up through Anne's local parish. Such things exist. Max is probably there either because he was involved in a gang or in danger of being part of one, or he's a orphan waiting for foster care, or maybe he just wants to help out as a volunteer. As for the machete and shotgun, those were probably confiscated from the recovering addicts, and they do live in [[GangsterLand LA during the 90s]], so it helps with being prepared.

*** It's implied that the Runaway was some kind of leader or poster child for the slave rebellion, and thus it would make sense for the cyborgs to want to capture him and bring him back alive so that they could interrogate and/or publicly execute him to destroy the morale of his fellow slaves back home. Being cyborgs, they probably don't know about DontCreateAMartyr.

For that matter, there's nothing to prevent them from just coming back to get him again.
