We need to know who it is, if he or she is there, Lucas said. That person's life could be in danger from the same people who killed Tubbs . . . unless he or she did it. Then, that'd mean you're working with a cold-blooded killer. Okay. I'll think about it, MacGuire said. I'm not lying to you here, I really don't know-but I'll think about it, and ask around.
In the book "Silken Prey" by John Sandford, the character Lucas expresses concern over an unidentified person who might be in trouble following a murder.
