Ibid is Big Tony's friend. Big Tony has gotten delayed in meeting you, Shame, in Blind River. He needs a used anchor so when he drops your pieces into Lake Huron they won't float to the surface and cause rejoicing among the people. See, what happens is that Ibid holds the guy so that he don't wiggle too much as Big Tony cuts pieces off of him. There ain't no screaming 'cause Ibid crams a tennis ball into the guy's mouth. This is easy since the first thing Big Tony cuts off is the guy's lips and in your case, the nose. That's because your nose prints are probably on file at the local dog catcher's office.

But you needn't worry. Big Tony told me he wouldn't waste a lot of time on you, so it'll all be over in an hour or two, three at the most.
