"So you're saying water kills these things?" She asked, laying on the sofa as he poured them a shot glass full to the brim with vodka.

"Yep, exactly." He went down to the sofa and handed the drink, gently.

"And if I just splash of bucket of water it'll just crumble like that." She said, getting her self comfy.

"Well Kim, yes. The virus is a living parasite, and can be killed with any type of water, leaving the victim senseless. Dead. Gone." He answered, chugging the shot glass and wincing. "Ah, damn."

"Well, is there any way to like, stop this virus without killing the host?" Ms. Kim scoured for any help that could save her little boy.

"Yes. But it's a complicated process. You have to freeze them in ice, and since the inside of the body is so warm, it'll melt it but not hurt the victim." His head rest in the warm sofa. It was comforting.

"What if my sons infected? Can you save him?" She questioned.

"I can't do that. You have to sit yourself. But he warned, it may cause severe hypothermia." He lowered his voice to a whisper then. "Or death. You gotta get to bed now. You have a big day tomorrow." He patted her back.

"Yeah, I mean I guess. I'll can't leave though, I've drunken to much." She repelled, laying back down on the couch.

"Who said you have to leave?" He teased, going to his bed. "Night, and don't let the bed bugs bite." He smiled and ran off to his shabby bed, just like the rest of this house. She turned the lights off, making it flicker and die, just like Dr. Williams when she gets ahold of him.
