"Stupid," you muttered.

"What was that?"  Rufus asked as he walked so he was standing in front of you.

"You're stupid."  A smug grin grew on his face.

"And why's that?"

"This whole island isn't very convincing.  Not to mention, all of this was avoidable."  Your tongue was like lead and it took a lot of energy to speak.  But you had to get this out.  The grin slowly disappeared from Rufus' face.

"What are you talking about?"

"You found out someone had a toleration to the serum and instead of getting rid of that person or finding a stronger serum, you let them run around the island.  It also doesn't help your plan that everything on this island is very suspicious.  Hell, you never even had me fill out any of the necessary paperwork to go to school.  To be frank, you're not good at making this island seem genuine."  By now you were out of breath.  However, you could start to move your hands, so the tranquilizer was slowly losing its effect.

"What's your point?"

"I could help you."  Rufus let out a sharp laugh.

"How could you help me?"

"You'd have someone on the inside.  I could tell you if people started resisting the serum and planned to revolt.  Not to mention, I was smart enough to figure out your plan, so I'm smart enough to help make it better."

"And why would you want to do that?"

"I want what you want.  Power, money, immortality."

"That's a lot of talk for someone who just tried to beat the shit out of me." Rufus paused in consideration.  After a few moments, he shrugged and smirked down at you.

"Well, I guess I can always kill you if you try to rebel again.  But you do have a point; two evil hotties are better than one.  Do you really want to go through with this, [Name]?"  You returned his smirk.

'You bet."  With that, Rufus picked you up bridal style and carried you out the room.

"Let's see if we can find an antidote to that tranquilizer."

It's been some time since you and Rufus joined forces.  Dozens of islands were under your control and nothing was going to stop you two from taking over the world.  Thanks to your new income and immortality, anything was possible for you.  Your heart's desires was always a phone call away.  Right now, you and Rufus were enjoying a summer brunch in the Bahamas, which was a recent conquest.

"[Name], darling, what shall we do today?"  You put down your crepe and thought.

"I was thinking of taking our yacht for a spin and scope out Maui.  That is where we're taking over next, right?"  Rufus nodded and smiled at you.

"Sounds like a plan."
