Jessica sighed as she leaned back into her chair as she stared at the screen. "I knew it." She shook her heard.
Grissom passed by D.N.A to see Jessica working. "Hmm." He said to himself. He was about to go in when felt someone's hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Catherine.
"Let me." Grissom nodded and went on his way. Catherine entered the room.
"Hey." She said.
"Hey." said Jessica not looking over.
"What have you got?" asked Catherine as she over to her. "Ah, you've got a match."
"Don't sound all excited."
"How come?"
"Because it's not our dead guy, Chris."
"Then who is it?"
"I knew it was him from the start, I was just hoping it wouldn't be true, that I was wrong, but I knew that I wasn't, that it was indeed true." She sighed.
"I don't think I read you loud and clear, if it's not Chris's D.N.A, then it's the…"
"The father's? Yes. Mr. Lander did indeed rape his own daughter, and I have no doubt that it's been going on for a while."
Catherine just stood there. Jessica stood up and gathered the evidence. 'It's not like I haven't seen this before. Then why am I so shocked? Is it because of how Jessica is dealing with this? She's seen it to, but to younger kids, and ones around her age, and women mainly in their 20's or older, some made it out alive while others didn't, we've seen it all before, but this girl was 12, and she may know her, it was no wonder why she was acting the way she was, but maybe she was dealing with this all too well.'
"I'm gonna call Brass then head out, I'll see you later Cat." said Jessica as she walked through the door.
Catherine nodded to the empty room, "Alright." She said as she watched Jessica make her way to Evidence while she dialed Brass.

Sara entered the break room to see Catherine sitting at the table.
"Hey Catherine." She smiled as she went to the fridge.
Catherine looked up. "Oh, hey Sara." She smiled slightly.
"What's going on?"
Catherine looked at her a little confused.
"You seem distracted." Sara took a sip of her water.
"Oh, it's nothing just Jess's 428."
"Oh?" said Sara as she walked over and sat at the table.
"Yeah, she found out who had raped Nina Lander."
"It was… Chris… wasn't it?"
Catherine shook her head. "No. Chris was the one who tried to stop it from happening. It was the father, Mr. Lander, who had done it. Jessica also suspects that he's been doing it to her for quite some time too." Catherine sniffled; she still didn't understand why she was this upset about it.
Sara just stared at Catherine in utter shock. She couldn't imagine what her daughter was going through.

Grissom quickened his pace as he proceeded down the hall. He had just over heard everything Catherine had just told Sara. He wanted to make sure Jessica was alright, so he continued to her office, he opened the door, but she wasn't there, so he left to the parking garage to make sure he hadn't missed her or anything. He saw her car, but not her, 'Where is she?' he thought as he went back inside, and headed towards his office. As he entered he saw Jessica looking at some of the casings and things on the wall, he just stood in the door way for a moment; he didn't know if she had realized that he was there or not, until she spoke…
"I knew you'd come looking for me. I was going to go home, but I couldn't. I don't know why, I just couldn't." He could tell she was on the verge of tears. He walked over to her; he knew that is was different this time than the others. She hadn't worked many 428's in the past 3 years, but she knew how to handle them, but she was still 18 after all, still just a little girl, a child herself. Dealing with murders was different then dealing with this, but he still needed to know one thing.
"Jessica. Did you know Nina?"
She turned to face him, almost crying. "I knew her from the club. She was always so happy with her "Big Sister" Kaula. They would some time's join me and the other kids at the center."
Grissom now knew, she did know the girl, and on a more personal level. He couldn't imagine how she truly, really felt, all he could do was pull her into him and hold her close. She couldn't help but cry.
As he held her, he saw Sara stand in the door way watching them. He nodded to her and she placed a hand to her mouth, she too now knew that her daughter knew the poor young girl.
