You call Tim Wells and begin to tell him of the information you found and the call from Doctor Thule. He cuts you off saying that Hank his young son is now acting sickly as then wondering how much of the water he might have swallowed the day before.
Hank is running a temp of 103.8*F and sweating like he'd run ten miles. An ambulance is called for and Tim helps Andria get ready to follow their son to the hospital. You help too all the while thinking to the Hippo who saved Hank and when the security guard called to the big animal thanking him by name. A quick reply of again another bronze placard showing the name of a donaras James something.
You wonder if the James guy was a Hippo now as your two friendly neighbors did wander the zoo as African Water Buffalo?
The Wells head for the Hospital as you retire back to home and continue to ponder all that's happened.
At home you keep looking at the computer and having the e-mail address directly to Doctor Thule there comes a thought. Perchance Hank swallowed a ton of water and touched the Hippo-man could it have an effect?
Knowing too much is dangerous but to save young Hank from worse or death all must be done. An urgent marked e-mail to the Doctor explains the situation and asked the question if he is somehow infected by the Hippopotamus?
A short e-mail comes back suggesting to use common allergy drugs and let them make the proper course less Hank die. The e-mail was unsigned but you know where it came from to be sure.
Calling the Hospital you inform Tim as he tells the doctor there of what you were told. An order is given to administer such allergy drugs and wait.
Now all you can do is wait too!
