Ocean Calling (unofficial sequel to The Lake House)

by caneeljoy

Note: this is not a Max Ride fanfic, but there was no WTWB in the archive. Warning: this story will make NO sense unless you read When The Wind Blows and The Lake House by James Patterson beforehand. Max is raising her two children Janie (Frances Jane) and Ozzy (Ozymandias) after their father Ozymandias was shot by Dr. Ethan Kane. But Ozymandias may not be gone, as they thought...

21. Chapter 20

Rough arms were dragging her out of the cage. Max barely had enough energy to twitch, let alone fight or bite or scream. She limply hung in the arms of some doctor as he carried her down the hallway.

"There." Juliette's voice. The doctor dropped Max unceremoniously onto the freezing linoleum.

Max struggled to lift her head. Her vision was clearing slightly, and she could see two pairs of feet: one bare, and one in high heels. Juliette… and…

"Ozymandias?" she croaked.

There was no acknowledgement. She looked-

"Ozymandias!" She struggled upright. "I'm so glad-"

"Max, meet Ozymandias. Ozymandias, Max." Juliette wore a small smirk-like smile on her flawless face.

"But we know each other already!" Max objected.

"Now you do." Juliette suddenly turned and stared hard at Ozymandias. After a short minute, he nodded curtly.

Then he flung Max through the wall.
