The Case Brings Out The Truth.

Chapter 1

Summary: The team work a case of a Marine who had abused his child. And one Agent becomes a bit close to it. The truth comes out, and there's only one person who can help him through it. Tony/Gibbs Son/Father. (Pretend that we haven't met Tony's father).

A/N: Hey guy's, it me again. This is a story that came to my mind and I thought I would try and write it.

Be warned mentions of child abuse.

Set in season 12 but pretend that we have never met Tony's father. Ziva is still in the story. Some of Bishop but not a lot. Tony and Ziva are together so there will be TIVA, but mainly Gibbs and Tony father/son.

This story doesn't go into lots of detail with child abuse, because I'm only 14 year's old. Sorry for any spelling mistakes. Hope you enjoy Thanks! - Haylee

NCIS Observation room 1: NCIS NCIS NCIS NCIS

Tony was standing in the observation room, arms crossed and facing out the window at the suspect, with Ziva, McGee and Bishop waiting for Gibbs to return from talking with Ducky.

"Colonel Mike Jackson, 34 year's old and has a 12 years old son named Henry. His wife, our murder victim, Petty Officer Emily Jackson, was found dead on her kitchen floor by her son, stabbed to death 8 times" Bishop said, reading the file in her hand.

"The son, Henry, was covered in bruises and had a split lip when the police had got to the house. The police officer asked what had happened and Henry had said that he was being bullied at school" Ziva said filling Bishop in "But the principle said there was no reports of him being bullied".

"Ducky's checking Henry out now, since we have only just found Mr Jackson" McGee said.

"Where was he?" Bishop asked

"Found him in a bar about 2 minuets from the house" Tony said in a bitter tone, which caused Ziva to glance at him. He looked slightly angry and was trying to hide it. She was going to ask him what was wrong, but the door opened and in came in Gibbs.

"Ducky have a report?" McGee asked, turning to face Gibbs.

"Yeah. Says that the boy show's singes of abused by either his mother or father" Gibbs replied, annoyed.

"That explains the bruises and split lip" Bishop said.

Gibbs nodded "DiNozzo, your with me"and turned to walk out the room.

Tony nodded and followed him out and into interrogation.

Gibbs and Tony walked into the room and Gibbs sat down in the chair opposite the suspect, while Tony stood by the door.

"Why were you at the bar this morning, Mr Jackson?" Gibbs asked, pulling open the case file.

" I was having a drink and was going to meet someone" Mike replied.

"Who were you meeting?" Tony asked, clearly annoyed.

Mike turned to Tony "A friend".

"Who's your friend?"

"Eric Patterson" Mike replied, turning back to Gibbs.

"When was the last time you saw your wife?" Gibbs asked, looking down at the file.

Mike thought for a moment "Last night, at around 11:30, why?" he asked, like he knew nothing.

"Did she go to bed?" Tony asked, tilting his head slightly to the left.

"No. I went out" Mike replied, getting annoyed.

"Where did you go?" Gibbs asked.

"Stayed at Eric's" he replied.

"When did you get home?"

"I never went home" Mike said, like Tony and Gibbs should have known that.

"Why?" Gibbs asked, confused.

"I needed to get out of the house for a night" Mike said, casually.

"Problem's with the wife?" Tony asked, and Mike gave him a look as if to say 'Shut up'

"No" was all Mike said, clearly unhappy.

"Your son found your wife dead" Gibbs said, moving subject.

Tony saw the look of hatred flash over Mike's face, which he covered up quickly, at the mention of his son and Tony clenched his fists at his side's. It was the father. The father was the one who hit the kid.

"Is he okay?" Mike almost choked out in disgust.

"He's a little shaken up and upset" Gibbs replied, not sure what to think of the guy sitting across from him.

"Well..." Mike trailed off and Tony clenched his fists even tighter.

"Did you ever hit your son Mr Jackson?" Gibbs asked, seeing Tony clench his fists even tighter.

Mike looked at Gibbs in disgust "You think I would hit my son, your wrong".

Tony pushed himself of the wall and walked over to the table "Then how do you explain the bruises and split lip?" Tony questioned.

Mike looked from Gibbs to Tony "School bullies" was his reply.

Tony felt his blood boil "Your lying".

"Excuse me?" Mike said, shocked.

"You heard".

"He gets bullied at school by other children" Mike said, getting even more annoyed.

"Really. Because according to the school principle, there was no report of bullying." Tony said in a 'matter of fact' tone.

"The kid probably didn't tell him. He likes to keep to himself" Mike answered.

"Too afraid to say what he thinks" Tony said and Mike suddenly stood up, chair falling to the floor with a crash. Gibbs also standing.

"HE'S A SHY KID" Mike shouted.

"HE'S SCARED" Tony shouted back.

Gibbs put his hand on Tony's arm and pulled him out the room and into the hall way "What the hell are you doing?".

"I know he hit his son boss" Tony said, pointing towards the interrogation door.

Gibbs looked at Tony and said "So do I okay, but shouting at him isn't going to do anything".

"Let me talk to the kid" Tony asked suddenly

"Why so sudden?" Gibbs asked, as he heard the door to the observation room open.

"I can try and get him to open up and say if his father abused him or not" Tony answered "And if we can't get him for murder, at least we can get him for child abuse".

"What if he doesn't open up, then what?" Gibbs asked, not sure if he should or not.

"I'll try and get him to talk. Boss please" Tony begged "That kid can't go back to him. Not a lot of kids that have been abused, have ever been free from it" he continued.

Gibbs looked into his Senior Field Agent's green eyes and saw the determination and want for helping the child. The case had been hard for everyone because a child was being abused, but Gibbs had a feeling that it had been even tougher on Tony. He understands the need to help the child, everyone does. But there was something about Tony wanting to help even more that made Gibbs concerned for Tony.

Gibbs nodded "Okay" he agreed then turned to the rest of the team, who were standing outside the door of observation , and said "Ziva go down to Autopsy and get the kid. Then bring him up to interrogation 2" he turned to McGee and Bishop "Wait in observation 2" then to Tony "Wait here".

"Wait, what about Jackson?" Bishop asked, while Ziva went down to autopsy and McGee went into observation 2.

"What about him?" Gibbs asked.

"Is anyone going to watch him?".

Gibbs turned to Tony "Call Dorneget and tell him to get Agent Phillips. He's on guard". Tony nodded and pulled out his phone and called Dorneget.

Ziva walked out the elevator and through the doors to see Ducky and Palmer talking with Henry.

Ducky, hearing the door's open, turned around and saw Ziva walk in "Hello my dear Ziva. How may I help you?" Ducky greeted and asked.

"Hello to you to Ducky. I have been asked to take Henry down into interrogation" Ziva replied.

"What's interrogation?" the young boy's voice asked from the autopsy table he was sitting on.

"It's a place we ask people question's" Ziva said in a sweet, mother like tone.

Ziva held out her hand for Henry to Take and said "Come on, I'll take you".

Henry hesitated for a moment then jumped off the table and took her hand.

"Ziva, my dear, I would like to observe" Ducky said, already taking off his autopsy apron. Ziva pulled a questioning look, but nodded and they headed up to interrogation.

A/N: Please review and tell me what you think.
