Is there any truth to the saying: keep your friends close, and your enemies closer?
Snorts, "Does Theo have enemies? Darling, you must be joking." her voice goes from light and airy, to hard in the space of a heartbeat. "Of course I have enemies. You can't get to where I am, in the post-Big Death world, without making enemies. Some you know you have and most you don't."
"I may have at one time had more friends then enemies, but now there are very few who can claim the title of friend. I can count them all on one hand, and I can promise you, two of them don't want that dubious title."
"I trusted one man, my second in command, Eric. Only to find out that he was my biggest enemy. Or at least my biggest personal enemy. He isn't alive now. Of course, he was the one who tried to kill me first."
"I still have some of my brain boys and some of the jocks, but I wouldn't call them friends any more.."
"So yes, there is truth in the saying 'Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer'. People won't find it easy to drape the wool over my eyes again."
