Veronica stayed in the break room the rest of the shift. Nick told her who Brass was. Warrick told her why Sara was called out to investigate him. Catherine told her about Grissom. And she got Greg to tell her where his coffee was. She could be very charming when she wanted to. She read out her book and found a new one in Grissoms office. And she thought about her room.
Grissom finely finished the rest of his paperwork, he was extremely happy with himself. He had only seen Veronica once. He had to say, even if he only had known her one day, that he really liked her. And he could get used to have her around. But he was not sure how to act around a teenager. What he should let her decide and what not. And would she listen to him?
How long had her dad been in San Francisco? She had a feeling he might have been there awhile. And who should she ask? Not Sara or her dad, they would probably not answer her. They were very good at not answering, or only half answer.
"Who are you?" Veronica looked up, she thought everybody knew now.
"Veronica. Who are you?"
"Oh so your Veronica. I'm Jim Brass" Veronica smiled.
"Just the guy I wanted to talk to." He nodded, Catherine had told him about the girl. "Do you know how long my dad was in San Francisco seven years ago?"
"I was supervisor at the time. He was gone about 4 months, only time he has taken time off." Veronica smiled again. She was right; there was something they didn't tell her. What happened in San Francisco? And how was she going to get her father or Sara to tell her?

"So what do you think about red walks, whit furniture and black details?" Veronica asked over breakfast. Grissom just looked like a big question mark. "The room, dad."
"Oh. You can do whatever you want with it." Veronica looked worried, he was awfully quiet. She didn't know if it was normal or not, so it made her worried.
"Is something wrong?"
"No, I'm just thinking."
Grissom was actually in deep thoughts. At some point during the day he had started to think about Sara, and now it didn't seem like he could stop. She had stopped by his office before she left to which him luck with the curious girl. And to tell him that it seemed like Veronica had talk with everybody through the night.
Veronica tried to start a conversation but he was too far off. So she decided to head to bed. She hoped she would get more information out of somebody nest shift. She had planned to ask Brass more questions but he had to work. Hopefully she could talk more with him later.
