After five years of being away from my brother, I figured I would go down to Las

Vegas and see him, since I had to go see my dad and a Mr. Jim Brass for a new job

opening. I cold see all three of them at the same time because they all worked together. I

left my dad when I was fourteen to go live with my brother, my mom and my brother's

dad in Texas. My father insisted I go live with them because he was constantly working

and couldn't take care of a kid anymore. I didn't want to leave but I had to. Dad said they

had a son about two years older than me named Nick.

When I arrived in Texas my mom, Nick and Jack (Nick's dad) were at the airport

waiting for me. The first thing we did was go back to the Stokes' house to drop off my

things. On the way there, Jack said "You know Jessie you can call me dad if you want."

"No thanks" I said, "I already have a dad that I call dad".

"Okay" he said "oh, and if you don't mind we are going to change your last name from

Grissom to Stokes… so people don't wonder…"

I sighed and said "Fine…whatever"

The rest of the ride home was quiet. My second day with the Stokes, we went to the court

house where mom and Jack worked, to get my last name changed. I thought, "wow they

sure don't want to be looked at funny just 'cause I have a different dad".

"Okay, so you want her last name changed from Grissom to Stokes?" the lady asked.

"Yes" Jack replied. I was standing behind him not enjoying myself at all.

"So her full name would be…?"

"Jessica Grace Stokes" I said before Jack could.

"Okay then Ms. Stokes we are all finished here!" the lady said and I walked out, Jack

following close behind.

Snapping out of the flashback in just enough time to realize that a light had turned

red. I pulled up to the drive way that had the address I was looking for. My brother's,

Nick Stokes, house was not but two feet in front of me and I wondered how he would

react. I hadn't seen him in five years and now I was going to start working with him out

of the blue. It was the day time so I knew he was home and if he wasn't he was on major

over-time. I knocked on the door and a few seconds later a tall, muscular man with short

black hair appeared in the doorway. "Jessie! What are you doing here?" he asked

giving me a hug. "Well, Brass said the night shift needed an extra CSI and… yeah"

"Cool. Come on in! Man, I haven't seen you in ages!" as he said that his cell phone

rang.

"Stokes"

"Hey Nicky it's Brass"

"Hey what do you need?"

"I need you to come down to the lab…oh and bring Jessie."

"Okay...hey! Wait! How'd…" Brass had hung up and Nick said "come on we have to

go to the lab." and with that we walked out of the door. We got in his car and drove to the

lab. It took about ten minutes to get to the lab, when we pulled in Nick found a parking

spot and said "Okay we're here" and pulled the key out of the transmission. As we

walked up to the brick building he asked "So how long has it been since you've seen

Grissom?"

"I dunno… lets see… haven't seen you in five years…haven't seen him since I was

fourteen so…a while." I said. When we walked into the building all of the walls were

made of plexiglass except for the offices and rooms that boardered the walls. We walked

down a few hallways and into a break room, on the way in a cute, brown haired with

blonde highlights and spiky hair, guy in a lab coat walked out. Sitting on a couch were

three people; a light-skinned man with a slight 'fro to the right of him was a brunette with

shoulder length hair and to the left a blonde with about ear length hair. On a chair sat Jim

Brass the man who I talked to on the phone about the job, he waved and gave me a smile.

The other three eyed me then walked out with Brass when Grissom walked in. I

wondered if he would recognize me and say something. Grissom walked right by me,

said hi to Nick then walked past him then stopped and turned around.

"Don't I know you?" he asked looking at me.

"I would hope so!" I said.

"You look so familiar…"

"Well yeah, I look like Nick and…you" I mumbled.

"Hmmm…couldn't be….it cant be… where's Greg?"

"So that's your reaction when you haven't seen your daughter in nine years? 'where's

Greg?'" Nick sort of yelled at him.

"She's changed so much I have to be sure, Nick!"

"You guys do know I'm standing right here, right?" I said.

"Sorry Jessie… it's just that…" Grissom started

"It's okay really, Brass gave me a job so you'll need my DNA anyway" I said.

"Okay" he said and walked over and gave me a hug.

"Come on, Jessie. I'll give you the tour" Nick said walking out of the break room.

I followed after him and the first stop he made was the DNA lab. Through the see

through walls I saw the spiky haired guy again rockin' out to some Marilyn Manson.
