Gibbs could not believe what he had just heard. His youngest son's words stung his heart and knocked the air from his lungs. He knew that Liam had his demons but he was not expecting anything like this. He remembered Liam mentioning a Noah but he had claimed that Noah had moved and wasn't aloud to give out his address. He had no idea what to do in this situation. How do you convince a ten year old that he didn't kill his best friend? If it was before he would be able to at least try no problem but after everything that happened to Tony. He was completely gun shy. Scared that if he said the wrong thing Liam would end up in the same boat as Tony.

"So what are you going to do? Disown because I killed Noah?" Liam asked.

"No Liam I could never disown you." Gibbs assured.

"But you do blame me, right?" Liam asked.

"No Liam it was not your fault. It was the fault of the drunk driver." Gibbs said.

"Why won't my classmates realize that?" Liam asked.

"Was Noah well liked?" Gibbs asked.

"He was the most popular boy in school. Everybody loved him. He was smart, strong, athletic, and funny." Liam explained.

"Sometimes when somebody dies especially if their death was untimely. It is really hard to accept and you are so distraught that you will point fingers and blame innocent people." Gibbs explained.

"Why?" Liam asked.

"Sometimes you blame yourself. Other times it's just easier to have somebody to blame. Grief does crazy things to people." Gibbs explained.

"Maybe that is the answer for some people but not for my classmates." Liam replied.

"What makes you say that?" Gibbs asked.

"They blame me because I am a nobody. I was just the weird poor kid, whose mom slept around a lot. I am stupid, weak, I am not funny, and I have no athletic ability at all." Liam explained.

"Do your classmates think it would be better if you were dead?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes" Liam replied.

"Have you told a teacher?" Gibbs asked.

"They feel the same way." Liam replied.

"Your teacher wants you dead?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes sir" Liam replied.

"You're not lying to me, right?" Gibbs asked.

"I wish that I was." Liam replied.

"This is very serious Liam." Gibbs replied.

"What the hell can you do?!" Liam demanded.

"I am going to the sheriff." Gibbs replied.

"Don't bother" Liam replied.

"Why not?" Gibbs asked.

"Because Noah's dad was a cop and they all hate me too." Liam replied.

"I have to at least try." Gibbs stated.

"What if they won't help?" Liam asked.

"Then I will call my friends from NCIS back in DC and they will help me out." Gibbs explained.

"They will? You promise?" Liam asked.

"Cross my heart." Gibbs assured.

Liam seemed satisfied with Gibbs's vow to protect him. Gibbs grabbed Liam's hand and guided him out of the workshop and back into the house. He grabbed his wallet and keys from the kitchen tables and called to Ducky that he was taking Liam somewhere. Gibbs walked Liam to the police station. They walked through the front door and up to the reception desk.

"May I help you?" The officer working the desk that day asked.

"Yes my son, Liam is being threatened by his classmates and teacher." Gibbs replied.

"What kind of threats?" The officer asked.

"They say that I need to die because it is my fault that Noah Valmer is dead." Liam explained.

"Come with me and I will get your official statement for the police report." The officer replied.

"You really are going to help me?" Liam asked.

"Yes I am son. Why wouldn't I?" The officer asked.

"Because everybody loved Officer Valmer and it is my fault that him and his family are dead." Liam explained.

"I miss Officer Valmer as much as the next guy but that is no reason to threaten anyone or not help them." The officer explained.

Tony pushed his food around his plate. He couldn't figure it out. He had been doing so well then all of the sudden he started beating himself up over the deaths of Jimmy and Breena again. He wondered if he would ever be able to forgive himself and move on from what had happened. He knew that it was his dad's fault. DiNozzo Senior had used Breena's vulnerability to kill her. Tony wanted to separate himself from DiNozzo Senior. Even if Senior wasn't his real father. They were still bound by their name but did they have to be? Hadn't Shannon given him a different name? She had, but would it make any difference at all? He had to at least give it a try. He would do anything to get better and get back to his son. He was doing this not just for himself and Gibbs but also and mostly for JJ.

"What are you thinking about Mr. Gibbs?" A nurse asked.

"What I am going to do when I get out of here." Tony replied.

"And what will that be?" The nurse asked.

"I am going to change my name." Tony replied.

"To what?" The nurse asked.

"The name my birth mother gave me. Before I was basically kidnapped by the man who raised me and my life went to hell." Tony explained.

"How old were you when you were basically kidnapped?" The nurse asked.

"Just over an hour old.' Tony replied.

"Your life has been that bad since you were a tiny baby?" The nurse asked.

"Yes but my birth mother loved me and my birth father adores me. That is why I am taking the name my mother gave me." Tony explained.

"Do you think that will help?" The nurse asked.

"It can't hurt." Tony replied.

"So what will your new name be? You never told me." The nurse asked.

"Luke Jethro, after my birth father and grandfather.." Tony replied.
