"You guys have to come out into the lobby!" Greg said as he skidded into the break room looking at Nick and Warrick.

"Why?" Nick asked as he eyed the lab tech. Greg was clearly excited.

"Because there is a girl out there who's got curves like Jennifer Lopez, and looks like Britney Spears from the back. Maybe it is Britney Spears." He exclaimed.

"What would she be doing here?" Nick asked Greg.

"Maybe someone stole her push up bra." Warrick quipped.

"Yeah. Right." Nick snickered.

"Well! Are you coming or not?" Greg asked and took off before they could even reach the door.

Greg came to a screeching halt, peering around the corner at the blonde who was looking out the window. "See." He whispered to Nick and Warrick who were standing behind him.

"I think I'm going to introduce myself." Nick said handing the file he was carrying over to Warrick. "I think it's about time something goes my way with the ladies." Nick, strode over to the blonde, who was still staring out the window. He cleared his throat. "Excuse me Miss. I couldn't help but notice. Are you lost?" He asked.

The blonde turned spun around on her heels to face the dark haired, dark eyed CSI. "No. I'm not. I'm waiting for someone. But, thank you for asking." She smiled.

"Well, maybe I can help you. I'm good at finding things." He boasted.

"Are you flirting with me? Mr., ...." She looked at his CSI badge. "Stokes?" She grinned.

Nick was embarrassed, but she got him at his own game. "I can't help it if I see someone as pretty as you. Nick Stokes." He said introducing him, extending his hand.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Jennifer." She smiled and returned his handshake. "CSI Level 3, wow. That's very impressive. I'm sure you take pride in your job."

"I sure do. I love my job. And what do you do, if I may ask?" Nick grinned eyeing her up and down, but carefully so she wouldn't notice. Damn was she sexy. Her pierced navel was in clear view, the cropped tank top, displayed it perfectly. Her jeans sat perfectly on her hip. The sandals she was wearing displayed her perfectly polished and manicured toes. She was perfect.

"I'm a..." Jennifer trailed off when she saw a familiar face turn down the hall. "Excuse me.." Jennifer said as she began to walk quickly towards the male. Her pace got faster and faster, now she was running towards him. "Daddy!" She said throwing her arms around Gil Grissom's neck.

"Jennifer." He smiled wrapping his arms around his daughter. It felt so good to have his daughter in his arms. It's been a long time since he had that feeling.

Nick stood there a few feet from his supervisor. His jaw on the floor. He was completely flabbergasted. He was flirting with the boss' daughter. He was even more shocked the Grissom, even had a daughter.
