"Yo Grissom, what do you think will happen with Conrad?" asked Nick Stokes as he met up with Grissom in the hall.

"I can assure Nick, that I have no clue what's going to happen to him or who's even getting the job." he replied not taking his eyes off the case file in his hands.

"C'mon now Griss, you should have at least some input as to what's going on." said Warrick as he joined them.

"Guys! I seriously don't know!"

"He's right. I don't even know, but I'm certainly hoping," They turn to see Ecklie be hind them.

"Exactly." Was all Grissom could say.

"That's right. Oh and congratulations Gil, and good luck to you," he stands there with a smile on his face. "Well, I'm off to bigger and better things." And with that he was off.

Jessica walks over to them and stands the exact same way Ecklie was, "I'm off to bigger and better things." she mocked. "My ass! I swear he's to full of himself." She said as she folded her arms.

"You said it." said Warrick.

"Definitely." chimed Nick.

Grissom looked at them with the usual stare, "Don't you have work to do?" he said in his usual tone.

"Ah, yeah, right, c'mon Warrick."

"Ah, right." They leave. Jessica stands there giving him her usual 'what the?' look. There was silence as they stared at each other, they each smile at one another and Jessica laughs,

Grissom sighs. "What am I going to do with you?" he smiles as he takes off his glasses and shakes his head.

"I don't know, give me a raise." she giggles. "I'm kidding I don't need one." she smiles.

He laughed. "Now, don't you have work to do also?"

"I get it. I'm going." she smiles and walks off to do her work.

Grissom smirks, sometimes he could never understand his daughter, but what father does, when it comes to their teenaged girls, but then again Jessica wasn't like most teenaged girls. And with that thought, he went to do his own work.

As he entered his office, which he'll be keeping, he noticed that Sara was sitting at his desk and seemed frustrated. He walked up to his desk and peered down at her through his glasses. "Any thing I can do to help?"

"No, that's alright." she smiles.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, it's done with now anyway."

"And yet you seem frustrated."

"Oh yeah, I was just thinking."

"And a lot about it. You wanna talk?"

Sara walked around to the other side of the desk and sighs. "I just don't see how a parent could harm their child and not feel guilty towards it all because they don't want to do the profession that you want them to." She leaned against the desk.

Grissom looked at the case file. "Ah, the Newton's case, so it was the parents that beat and murdered the boy."

Sara nodded. "Yeah, they confessed. When they told us, I don't know, it just made me so mad." Her hands were molded into fists with her arms folded.

Grissom set the case file down and went to his wife's side.

"Makes me even more grateful that we have a wonderful daughter." she smiled. He wrapped his arm around her as they stared out the window into the lounge, to see Jessica, Nick, and Greg talking and laughing.

"She's certainly not afraid to speak her mind and stick up for herself and others." he smirked.

Sara turned her head so she could look her husband in the face. "She was mocking Ecklie earlier again wasn't she?" Laughter clear in her voice.

"Yup."

"Well that solves that case. She passed by laughing before you came in and I just figured." she smiled. They laughed, Sara left and Grissom carried on.
