A cold breeze from the mountains started up as a woman pulled up to the Las Vegas Crime Lab that Valentines afternoon. Scurrying out of her SUV with Utah plates, the woman grabbed her purse that was lying on the passenger side seat. With a slight run, she entered the building, her hazel eyes getting dry from the wind.

"What a way to spend my birthday. Well, it's no Hawaii, still its Vegas." she thought

Shaking her fiery and very curly red hair out of her knit cap, she tried to find the man that she was sent to see, a Gil Grissom. After looking a round for a few minutes a handsome man came up to her.

  "Ma'am? Can I help you?" the man said in a Texan accent

  "Yes, I'm Lydie Jameson from the Salt Lake City Crime Lab. I'd like to speak with a Gil Grissom."

"Oh, about the serial. He's office is over this way."

Just then Catherine saw Nick and the woman that was walking next to him.

"Hey, Cath, this is Lydie Jameson from the Salt Lake Crime Lab. She wants to see Grissom."

Catherine's mind reeled trying to figure out what to do. This could be his Lydie Jameson, his daughter that he never saw? Gil needed and had the right to know that there was the possibility that he could meet his baby this very day.

"He had to go out and help Brass with something." Catherine quickly lied "He should be back in like a half hour or so."

"That's ok, Ms. Willows." Lydie said looking at Catherine's ID card.

"You want to hang out in the lounge for a few?" Nick asked

"Sure, Mr.…"

"It's just Nick."

"Okay then, I'm just Lydie."

"The lounge is this way Lydie." Nick said, starting off down the hall on the right.

"Bye." Catherine said as she headed off to Gil's office

She started to knock on the door harder than she usually did, but this was extremely urgent.

"Come in."

Catherine nearly barged in and then as soon as she was out of the door fame, shut the door with great force it could be considered a slam.

"Catherine what happened? Are you okay? Lindsay?"

"She's here." was all she could get out

"Who's here?"

"Lydie."

"What?!"

"Tell me did Hannah have red hair and hazel eyes?"

"Yes…"

"This woman looks about thirty, she has red curly hair and hazel eyes! She said she's here from Salt Lake for the serial, and her ID looks real enough. It said Lydie A. Jameson on it!"

"This isn't supposed to be, Catherine!"

"Grissom, look at me."

Gil dutifully did as he was told, trying to get a grip. Lydie was here, right here! He'd secretly longed for this day ever since Hannah told him about their baby all those years ago at graduation.

"I have you a half hour by saying you were helping Brass. Now you have to decide how you want to approach it."

"She's my daughter Catherine, I don't know what to do. I don't even know if she knows that Hannah is her mother."

"Gil, just think about how odd this will be for her too, that is if you tell her at all. Maybe you should treat her as an associate and have a relationship that way?"

"I don't know…I just don't know."
