Brad will be assisted by: Scott Rolle, a lawyer and Major in the U.S. Army Reserve who believes there is always more than meets the eye; Christine McKinley, a mechanical engineer who relies on facts and clear evidence in every situation; and Buddy Levy, who believes history is accurate but knows there are two sides to every story because he is a professor of English at Washington State University.
