They were up to some gay BDSM orgy type shit which spills over into transgressive violent crime, as we see, but there's a definite pecking order. Zed was the alpha, Maynard the beta. They were clearly associates, familiar with each other, one way or another, and Maynard has a good space in his basement. Perverts are constantly concerned over private space in which to carry out their weird activities, private homes, basements, etc. A basement in a relatively isolated commercial building is as good a spot as any. Ideally you want anechoic properties so as not to disturb the neighbors and therefore call attention to yourself. Or failing that you could blast music for a few minutes at reasonable times of day, as they do, both to establish mood and also to block out gay rape/gimp punishment noises.
