The casino was packed with C.S.I's and police force members and such, all wearing black, of course there was the occasional dark blue one's that you could barely tell the difference from. All waiting anxiously to find out as to who would be running and owning the Crime Lab; was it Ecklie or someone else?

Grissom was nervous, so nervous that he had undone his tie and was trying to redo the damn thing. He knew he had to give a speech about the person who own and run the lab, and would also be his new boss, and if it was Ecklie he couldn't do it; he couldn't do it the first time he left that one to Catherine, and boy was she pissed at him. As he continued to think about this, he tried to redo his tie again, but was failing miserably. He sighed.

"Need some help?" He turned to see Jessica standing behind him.

"I can't do this." He said as he sighed again.

"Yes, you can." She said as she stood in front of him as she helped him with his tie. "It won't be so bad. I'm sure you'll give a great speech. Trust me." she smiled.

Grissom looked at her, she always knew what he was talking about and that smile always gave him confidence. So much like his wife's, well it should be after all she was the spitting image of Sara, just she acted more like him, especially with her passion for insects and the stare, oh boy did she have those down cold, he laughed to himself mentally, but it was also the smile of his little girl, who wasn't so little anymore. But he knew that.

"18 in two months." He said.

"I know. I can't wait!" she said giggling.

Grissom smiled. "Excited for the results?"

"Yeah, I can't wait to find out who gets it!"

"You just want to see who wins the bet." He smirked. Jessica laughed.

"That too." They laughed and walked back over to the table where Sara, Catherine, Warrick, Nick, and Greg were sitting.

"How are you doing Grissom?" asked Catherine.

"Better." He said as he sat down and took Sara's hand in his. He sat on her right, and Jessica sat on her left, to Warrick's right, Catherine to his left, then Nick, then Greg. Brass would've been there to, but he was at a different table.

"So, is it almost time or what?" asked Greg.

"Greg." Jessica said as calmly as she could. It was the beginning of the evening and he was already getting on her nerves.

"What? I want to know."

She shook her head. "Just be quite."

Greg took note to the look on her face and decided to listen for once. The room was full of chatter, one person had gone onto the stage wanting everyone to quite down, which happened almost immediately.

"Ok, I'd like to thank everyone for coming, and glad that Ms. Grissom could make it." The man smiled.

"Hey! Would I miss something this important? Ah no, I don't think so!" People laughed.

"Of course not dear, but we never know if you can, after all you need your sleep." More people laughed. Jessica too found this funny, but only she and he knew what was really going on. So for 'the fun' of it she just stared at him.

He laughed. "Man, Grissom she really is your kid. I think I'll just stop now and get on with it before she kills me; she's giving me the look." Everyone laughed, but stopped when they realized that he wasn't kidding. They looked over at her, noticed she really was giving him the look. As they looked at her, she raised an eyebrow at everyone.

"We gonna get on with it or you all just going to stare at me all night to see if you can figure out with one of you I'm coming after first?" Jessica said with her arms folded. One of the C.S.I members laughed at this.

"That's it, Hodges I'm coming after you first!" she glared at him whiles she smiled, and everyone laughed at the expression on Hodges's face.

"All right everyone, let's get under way shall we now?" There were still a few giggles and murmurs throughout the room. Catherine leaned over Warrick towards Jessica.

"What was all that about?"

She shrugged, "How am I supposed to know, but I know I certainly had my fun." She smiles and Catherine went back to her original posture.

"Ok, now that we've had our fun," he laughs. "I certainly know I've had." He clears his throat. "Time to get down to business, now we all know that there are two positions. The first, taking the place of Conrad Ecklie, and the second, the new ownership of the crime lab and main employer for C.S.I." People clapped and hollered. "I'm getting on in my years and I just want to relax and have no worries. Not that I wont miss you all, of course I will, especially you Ms. Jessica,"

She raised her glass of iced water. "Aw, you know I'll miss you too." She laughed.

There was laughter in the room. "But of course I'll be stopping in occasionally." He smiled. "Now, we all know that Gil Grissom will be taking over for Conrad, so would the two of you please come here." People clapped as Grissom and Ecklie made their way to the stage.

"Thank you, Gentlemen. Now, congratulations Gil, you deserve this job more than anyone in this entire room." People clapped at his statement. "Now Gil, remember you have to give a speech on the new owner and yours and every other C.S.I's employer, so you better give on hell of a good speech, because if you don't I'm sure that they'll be pretty upset and mad at you, but hey I'm sure you'll do just fine." If Grissom didn't feel the pressure then he certainly did now. "And Conrad, I'd like to thank you for all your hard work that you've done for this lab, and you are…" he was then cut off by Ecklie.

"Thank you sir. I gladly accept. I won't fail you sure, I promise you." Ecklie said as he shook his hand.

"Ha, pay up Greg!" said Nick.

"Aw man." Greg dug into his pockets.

"Wait." said Jessica as she turned her attention back to the others on stage. They all looked back over.

"Ecklie what are you talking about?"

"I'm sorry; I was probably going to fast and sounded like I was rambling. I promise I'll do what's best for the lab and its employees."

"Oh well that's very considerate of you Conrad, but I don't understand why you would." At this just about everyone was very confused.

"What? What are you talking about? You just said that I got the job."

"No, I said I wanted to thank you for all you've done, so thank you."

"What I didn't get the job?"

"Ha! Now pay up Nick, Warrick." said Greg.

Jessica sighed, "Would you shut up!" Everyone turned their attention back to Ecklie.

"No Ecklie, you didn't."

At this Ecklie was getting mad. "Then what was the damn point of giving my job away?!"

"I didn't see why not, as to you won't be using it."

"What?!"

He sighs. "Are you really that dense man? You're fired Ecklie!"

"Ha, and it's about time too, now pay up guys!" said Jessica.

"Aw, man." whined Greg.

"Didn't see that coming." said Warrick. He, Nick, and Greg dug into their pockets.

"Oh, and you guys still owe Greg his money too, because he still didn't get the job." Nick and Warrick grumbled.

"All right, at least something good came out of this." said Greg as he put his hands together.

"What do you mean I'm fired?!" shouted Ecklie.

"You're fired Ecklie, plain and simple and besides, you should be just glad that you're getting fired by me and not the new owner."

"Oh yeah, I doubt that they would've fired me!"

Jessica sat up as he said this. "Well this ought to be interesting." She smiled.

"Oh really, you think so? Well then, Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm proud to present the new owner of the lab and main employer …" he turns to Grissom, "And you better give a good speech Grissom, after all you should be very proud," he turned back and faced everyone, "Ms. Jessica Lyn Grissom!"

Everyone clapped and there were more then enough whoops, cheers, and hollers as she made her way to the stage and stood between his and Ecklie.

"Now, what were you saying Ecklie?" she smiled.

He was speechless; she smirked then turned to Grissom.

"And you better have at least something good to say Dad."

Grissom smirked, "I'm sure I'll do fine."

She smiled, "I know you will, anyway," she turned back to Ecklie. "Ecklie, you're welcome to stay, but after night you no longer work for C.S.I. Oh and I want your office cleared by Monday, if not everything will be tossed." Ecklie just nodded and left the stage. "Now then, where were we?" she said as she looked at him.

"Oh, right. Even though Jessica's the one with the job, it won't be official till two months from now, when she's 18, that's what was agreed on."

"Then what the hell is she doing ordering me around?!" shouted Ecklie as he stood up.

"Sit down Ecklie! And please is that anything new? I boss everyone around, so ah I don't think so, no!" shouted Jessica, there was a bit of laughter to be heard.

For the remainder of the night no one had heard a peep out of Conrad Ecklie. So Grissom delivered his speech and said he was more than proud of her. Sara was to, she was exceptionally proud of her daughter, and they both knew along with everyone else that she would a great job and what was best for everyone and the lab, after all she was practically raised in it and being the head of C.S.I was in her blood, you could say. After all she had the most wonderful parents that anyone could ask for, and that was good enough for her.

The End

"Wait!" said Nick. Everyone looked at him.

"What is it Nick?" asked Sara.

Nick turned to Jessica. "How exactly is she paying us? I mean how can she afford to run the lab and be able to pay us all?" Everyone wondered the same thing. They all looked over to her, and she just laughed.

Grissom raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's so funny?"

She continued to laugh. "You all!" she managed to laugh out.

"Has she been drinking?" asked Warrick as he helped Jessica stand up.

"No, you Moron, of course I haven't been, I'm 17!" she snapped at him.

"Got it." said Warrick.

"So, not to jump to the point or nothing, but where are you going to get the money?" asked Greg.

Jessica sighed. "The same way you guys do, I get paid!" At that there were a few 'huh's?' and 'what's?'.

She sighed again, but continued to laugh a little. "I get paid 2.6 billon dollars about every year to a year and a half from the state and the government. And for my birthday, the president is giving me about that sum for it, so I'm pretty much set for life." She smiled.

Everyone stood there, wide eyed and mouths slightly open. "Oh, it's no big deal." She said, "I already knew about all this."

"That's so cool!" shouted Greg.

Nick rubbed his hands together, "I smell a raise." He smiled.

"Oh yeah." smiled Warrick.

"Yeah, don't bet on it!" said Jessica.

Nick and Warrick looked at her dumbfounded. Everyone laughed and they all went out to really celebrate.

"Do we still owe you the money?" asked Greg as they all walked through the doors.

"No Greg." Jessica sighed.
