A/N: Sorry for taking so long. I just started high school and the homework has been frustrating. ANYWAY, Here's the fourth chapter of Quantum Of Solace...

Apollo, Bolivia

Bond stepped out of taxi across the street from the hotel. He thanked the man and paid him. Bond casually entered the hotel and searched for room 35A.

'Hmm.. better be prepared' Shadow thought as he loaded his pistol. The door was unlocked. 'this can't be good' he thought as he opened the door, pistol raised. He slowly entered the small room.

A barley audible click was made from a dark corner of the room. Then a figure stalked over to Shadow who had already lowered his pistol.

"click" Bond spun around to see Slate about to plunge a knife into his neck. Shadow caught his wrist and twisted it until the knife came free and he heard a snap.

"ahhh!" Slate screamed in pain. He grabbed his knife and kicked bond sending him into the other room, causing him to cough up blood. Shadow grabbed Slate and threw him through a window onto a balcony. Bond took the knife from slate and cut the side of his neck then plunged it into his leg. He waited till he was sure Slate was dead.

Shadow opened up Slate's closet and tore up a shirt to clean off the blood and another the cover up his blood-stained shirt. Then made his way to the lobby. He reached the door when he backed up to the desk.

He handed the clerk his key "is there any mail? Room 35A" the clerk checked her computer.

"no there is none. We still have the package you dropped off. Do you want us to continue holding it?"

"Uhh, no I'll take it now."

Bond was given the briefcase he left the hotel when a small car screeched to a stop in front of him.

A purple cat looked at him and said "get in." Bond checked to make sure she was talking to him then got in. after driving for awhile she introduced herself as Blaze Rivera.

She looked in the mirror. "friend of yours?" Bond looked behind them to see a wolf on a motorcycle a few cars behind them looking at their car. "I have no friends" he stated. Blaze smiled then floored it. The man instantly reacted and started to chase.

They finally came to a stop in an alleyway. "open the case." she said nodding towards the case in his hands. "so what do you think?" she said.

Bond replied "I think someone wants to kill you." motioning towards the case which held a small revolver and a picture of Blaze.

Just then blaze swung her arm around at Bond and fired. Shadow stopped the gun in time so it wouldn't hit him. A short ways away their pursuer heard the gunshot and followed it to find Shadow standing in Blaze's dust.

"You were supposed to shoot her!" the wolf yelled at him.

"Well I missed!" Bond yelled back. Then he flipped the mans bike. Grabbed it and sped off after Blaze.

Shortly later...

Blaze stopped on a dock and stomped through the security.

"Let her through!" a guard yelled in french. She walked into a small warehouse where Sonic Greene was stamping something. Rivera stood next to him and looked at him pissed off. "not now I'm busy." he said not looking up. Then he looked up.

"ahh Blaze so good to see you again! And look," he held up what he was stamping, " I have it right here!" Blaze threw her hand up ripping the paper. :God dammit Sonic! I thought we had something special!"

"Don't talk to me LIKE I'm STUPID! It's un-attractive. I knew we shouldn't heave slept together. Come I have something to show you." he said putting his arm around her. They walked to the edge of the dock and looked down at a drowned man with a surprised expression.

"you see, I don't like it when people talk bad about me behind my back. Shame too, he was one of my best geologists" Sonic explained. Blaze looked up. "Is that him?" nodding toward the incoming boat.

"Yes. General Mephiles Madranno. Don't piss him off." Sonic warned before heading off to greet him.

" Ahh Sonic So good to see you. And who is this? I may ask." Mephiles inquired " Ms. Blaze Rivera." "Rivera? Hmm I believe I was the last person to see your family alive. Now about our deal" Then all three walk off to talk some more.

Shadow watched everything from his bike.
