A/N: Next chappie! :3

Later that day, the team got a new case.

A Petty Officer was found with a single shot through the head. It immediately screamed 'SUICIDE!' but they were required to investigate nonetheless.

They had the father in interrogation since he was the one who called it in. While Tony was watching the man in the observation room, McGee and Ziva came in and showed him a note. It was a suicide note the petty officer had written. In it, he wrote about the Navy and then of his father. He said that he was committing suicide because he realized he was as useless and a burden as his father always said.

Although the father was the reason for the man's death, they couldn't actually charge him for anything. This infuriated Tony.

Eight-year old Tony sat on his bed dejectedly. His father was furious with him. Tony interrupted him in the middle of one of his business dinners. The only reason Tony went to him was because all of the servants were there and his mother fell down their stairs and was unconscious. She had been drinking (as usual) but now she lay at the bottom of the stairs with blood flowing from her head.

DiNozzo Sr. had ordered one of the servants to call an ambulance but had continued with the dinner as if nothing happened. Tony had gotten furious and began screaming at his father to do something but his father just ordered him upstairs, where he said he will be 'disciplined'.

Young Tony didn't know what his father had planned for him, but knew enough to know that it wasn't going to be pleasant.

Just then, his father burst through the door holding a bottle of whiskey.

"You useless piece of shit! Your mother is dead, because of you!"

Tony had no idea she died. He just sat there in shock.

Tony was suddenly aware of two voices calling his name. Instead of answering, he just walking out of the observation room and into the interrogation room. If he couldn't arrest the man for murder, he would get him arrested for something else.

"Hello, Mr. Hyde – I mean, Hyland. It has been confirmed that your son has committed suicide. We just found the suicide note." Tony stated, face betraying nothing.

"Useless, bastard…always took the easy way out. I hope he rots in hell…" Hyland muttered angrily.

Tony was furious.

"Well, he was certainly a better person than you. Even in death he apologized for being a burden. It's not that he didn't deserve you, You really didn't deserve him. In fact, if I had to summarize you, I'd call you a heartless, self-serving, narcissistic bastard." Tony spoke cheerfully and finished talking with a wide grin on his face.

Ziva and McGee didn't have time to react before Hyland was out of his chair and pushing Tony against the glass separating the two rooms. Tony's grin just grew.

Hyland then pulled back and landed a punch squarely into Tony's stomach. Hyland continued landing blow after blow against Tony who oddly enough wasn't fighting back at all. He was flashing back to his father again…

"Get OVER here!" His father roared.

Young Tony scrambled to his feet and stopped directly in front of his father.

"Yes, father."

"You're supposed to call me, SIR!"

Tony's father then broke the whisky bottle on Tony's head and continued hitting him with the broken glass as he lay on the ground. Tony began shouting at his father to stop, only to be ignored. His father eventually did stop and Tony began struggling to get up, but his father just pushed him back down and began punching Tony's back until he could barely breathe.

"Useless…" Tony's father muttered before he left, Tony laying half-unconscious on his bedroom floor, concussed, bleeding, and badly bruised.

Ziva and McGee burst into action. When they entered the interrogation room, Ziva grabbed Hyland and pinned him against the wall opposite where Tony was. McGee went over to Tony who now lay on the floor.

The second McGee touched Tony's shoulder to help him up, Tony flinched and slid away from him. McGee noticed his eyes looked eerily glazed over and he was staring into empty space.

"No…stop…please, father…" Tony was muttering frantically.

Ziva and McGee froze. Father?

Gibbs walked into the bullpen to find everyone gone. He figured they must still be speaking to Hyland so he made his way down to the interrogation room. He was not prepared for what he saw. There was Tony laying beaten up on the floor and looking around frantically. It was when Gibbs heard Tony speak that he realized what was happening. He was having a flashback to when his father abused him.
