<Snipped quote by Kingslee>

I'm down for having them know each other's faces from working in the same circles. There was a time that Redding was a hired gun and relied on that as his sole means of income, so they've probably roughed up some people and made a few people disappear together. I wouldn't expect Redding to have gotten so attached as to have formed anything above a professional respect for the man, knowing all too well that someday down the road he'd maybe have to put a bullet in Joel. That time obviously hasn't come, nor does he want it to. He knows Joel would be a bad choice of an enemy, even for a man like himself.

PS, updated CS with information on Redding's business ventures that made him the man he is today.

Cool, sounds good/realistic to me.
