It's the name that would make the most sense. After all, Billy is pretty sure that he's the only person from the crew to show up so far, unless he missed someone else being around in town. But the sheer energy that the other man is giving off here and a single look at Hickey's expression tells Billy that whoever the other is talking about, it's definitely not someone Hickey likes.
So Irving then, surely.
.. but even if that part is easy to guess, he truly has no idea how that encounter must have gone down. Billy knows that he himself was capable of more or less awkwardly playing nice with Irving when he saw him earlier, pretending nothing at all was up, but it's different for Hickey. Especially when Billy knows Irving remembers his end. And in the worst case--
"Please tell me you didn't do anything drastic." He likes to think the other is smarter than that, but judging by the tortured expression on Billy's face, he can't rule out the possibility all the same.
