Zoe shook her head. "For one you'd zap me before I had the chance if I made a grab for it, and for two, I like my life now."
"I could blackmail you you know?" I stated, "Threaten to turn you into, I dunno, a bimbo, if you don't do my bidding."
"You could," she replied with a shrug "But wouldn't you rather have an ally in all this - someone to share the secret?"
I thought for a moment then nodded. "Alright, but doesn't solve my 'you have it easier' grievance."
She grinned wickedly. "I have an idea," she smirked with a wink.
