Grissom woke up long before Veronica. Truth be told he hadn't really sleep much, he had thought about her and when he finally had fallen to sleep he dreamt about her. He signed. What was he going to do?
When Veronica woke up she found her father at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee. He looked thought full out, just like before she went to sleep. And he looked very tired. She took a cup of coffee and sat next to him. It was to "early" for a conversation in Veronicas head, so she just sat there.
They were quite a sight there they sat. Two pars of tired blue eyes looked straight ahead. Veronicas long hair was everywhere. Both sat with a coffee cup, and in there night clothes. Neither looking read for the night. Grissom looked kind of lost.
Veronica told him he probably should take a shower before she headed off to take one herself.

It was an extremely boring shift, nobody had anything to do. Well some of the lab techs might have something to do, Veronica wasn't sure. But Nick and Greg were playing a video game. Warrick was reading a magazine and Sara a book. Catherine just looked bored. Grissom was hiding in his office, still very quiet and thought full.
Veronica quietly got Catherines attention and hinted towards the door, be for she got up and left the room. It didn't take long before Catherine flowed her, nobody in the room knowdes they were gone.
They found an empty room and sat down.
"Is it always like this when nobody has anything to do?" Catherine laughed.
"It doesn't happen so often, but yeah mostly." Veronica shook her head and laughed.
"So what's the deal with Sara and my dad?" Veronica had picked Catherine off two reasons. One she looked extremely bored and Veronica toughed she needed something to do. And two she was one of the people her dad considered a best friend.
"You know for such a smart guy your dad can be very stupid. It obviously something there, it has been like this sins she came here. And he has done everything in his power to push her away." Catherine looked thoughtful out for awhile "I remember when he told us she was coming to investigate Warrick he told us she was someone he trusted. I don't know their history, but they obviously have one." "Oh and when Sara was dating this paramedic he was jealous"

Grissom had gotten on case, and he tried to figure out who he was going to give it to. He was on his way to the break room and stopped in the door. The group in the room was oblivious to his present. Nick and Greg were so into their game that Grissom didn't think they even knew where they were. Warrick sat with a Sudoku and Sara had her nose buried in her book. Grissom took a moment to study her before he cleared his throat, no reaction. He tried again a little louder. Sara looked up from her book and Warrick put his pen down. The third time Nick and Greg put their game on pause.
"Where's Catherine?" Grissom asked. Everybody looked around.
"Eh. She's not here?" "We didn't knowdes that she left" and "Don't know" Was the answers he got.
"I have one case. To two of you" All of the looked more interested immediately. "You guys can decide who gets to go." He left the information with them before he left. He turned in the door. "Where is Veronica?" He got the same answers ha had gotten when he asked for Catherine. Where ever they were it couldn't be good.
