Authors note : Thank you so much to those who chose to review. It really encouraged me to continue. As I said before I am new to writing fan fiction, so it might take a little bit for me to get the hang of it. I will try and update as much as I can, but I work 12 hour swing shifts so be patient. If there is anything I do wrong in the uploads please let me know, and give a hint how to fix I am kind of computer illiterate. I also forgot in the intro to mention these characters and the show NCIS do not belong to me I'm just borrowing for a little while.

Chapter 1

I fingered the edge of the envelope sticking out of my inside coat pocket debating on pulling it out and re-reading it for about the thousandth time. I already knew it by heart, but actually reading the words my own father wrote brought home to me just how much the man hated me. Glancing over to make sure Mcprobie was fully involved in whatever new program or hacking device he had discovered I slid the envelope out of my pocket and let the pain of what he had written slowly take control, something I'm sure dear old dad would be thrilled to know.

The heading was simple and generic " DiNozzo Enterprises" in bold lettering, top and center.

To Special Agent L.J. Gibbs

Re: Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo

Dear Sir,

It has recently come to my attention that my son Special Agent DiNozzo has been offered the position of team leader at NCIS due, I am told, to his "courageous" actions in field work and his ability to lead. However as a concerned parent and taxpayer I am obligated to express my concern for such a decision. Anthony is unstable at best, and has a death wish at worst. At the age of seventeen he tried and almost succeeded in taking his on life. If not for the help of a personal physician he would be dead today. I fear all his "courageous" actions are just his own misguided attempts at ending his own life. Since he would be heading his own team of agents I felt compelled to inform you of his past. I am forwarding copies of this letter to the Director of NCIS and to Anthony as well. I hope seeing this in black and white will help him understand his place is not in this field of work and certainly not as a team lead.

Sincerely,

Dominick DiNozzo

Well, seeing this in black and white had helped him understand one thing, his father was a bastard.
