My, my, my. I have yet to see a page of Slop, and damn few other pages of anything else anywhere, that dumped so many plot points into such a small space. Bravo!
Looks to me like Tony's Little Hobby is pretty well known to some of his old friends. Including that entanglement with Uthalla that kind of followed from some marks she carries, if I remember correctly. And the infamous Body by the Riverbank. Oh, yeah.
"The Old Monster" is coming back into contact with people who know him; a bad situation, when being unknown, essentially unseen because he doesn't seem to be WORTH seeing, is his greatest and perhaps only protection. These are people who know all about Tony and can handle him with ease.
Or they think they can.
