Bonding through crisis, never underestimate it. She laughs a little.
"I'm sure I'll be here a while." Then she puts her elbow on the chair and rests her chin in her hand, raising a brow. "And there's a good chance my dad might show up. I heard you fanboying earlier."

Have a skeptical look. "Maybe not on a court of law, no, but..." She's been working long enough to spot a Dad Fanboy/Girl a mile away.
She shrugs. "He has some personal stuff related to Detroit. But I know him and after I tell him about all the shit that just went down he's gonna go into Protective Mode and fly here."
("I don't want you to get the shit kicked out of you all the time like I did, Ronnie. It's a pain in the ass.")
"Yep," Veronica says simply. She's never been ashamed of it; adopted, yes, but her father is her father.
"He adopted me a couple years after the Origami Killer case. And he's always been married to his work, so," she continues with a shrug. "Always been our little two person family and it's worked out just fine."
