Get the Enemy Brainmug. An ally of an enemy is your enemy (not a frienemy or any other coined word from a coined language). Its simple, you know not to trust anyone who's an ally of an enemy.
He/she isn't your friend when he/she is with you. He/she is pretending to be your friend when he/she is with you. An enemy that doesn't want you to know they're your enemy is still an enemy.
