Many of his brothers in arms died overseas, and Brad returned to L.A. with an empty pocket and a tone of screeching demons in his mind.

He became a hunter for the L.A.P.D. slowly worked his way up the ladder and after a couple years he made detective. Unfortunately what he found at the top was disgusting.
