Well the story comes to a close for Brad it is a new beginning with Anna and kids he saved again from The Family when killed the occult leaders and fled. In some ways Brad is smart and remembers things his father taught him but in many ways he is an idiot due to at first he seemed to grow up but them when he lost everything it seems he started loosening part of his mind he became afraid, no backbone a looser. To make things ever worst he meets his father who he hates but would like to try again but at last he sees his father is a mental case and in someway as bad or worst than The Family. His father named Lee has never been a father to him or a husband to Brad mother and it been about 15 years since he last saw his father and most of his memories are not good of his father and after they met again he finds out a bit to late that his father has lost his mind and to show Brad that Anna was bad for him he shot Anna and kidnapped her son Sammy and the little girl Martha Brad had saved. For more of his adventures take the time to listen to the series. Yes Brad really got on my nerves because I personally feel Brad had mental issues like his father because all thru the book Brad was constantly talked to himself and yes he carried on conversation with himself see what you think!
