Her dead were locked up, but she might get lucky and find one lurking who could help her.

“I want to do a walk-through. I know it’s violating your investigation, blah, blah, blah, but if Ridge is dreaming about her, I might be able to find her. Maybe she’s not where this thing is sending them, or she’s stronger than him and can break out of it.”

She pointed down, but only because Ridge wasn’t watching.

Honor cut them a break.

“Sneak in through the Monroes’ property, and don’t let the cops on the gate see you. If you get caught, I’m busting your balls into next year. If you don’t get caught, well, then, what I don’t know doesn’t hurt us as lead investigators.”

Booth laughed.

“Who is this cop? Where is Honor ‘the goddamn Littlemoons are driving me crazy’ Littlemoon?” he asked, winking at her.

She was to the point.

There was no reason to sugarcoat this shit. All of this woo-woo bullshittery was bringing out the secrets, and she was getting ahead of it.

Here.

And.

Now.

“I was depressed after having our kids, Booth. My mom haunts our house. I can see her, and I don’t want to die.”

Yep, she dropped that bomb.

Immediately, Booth stared at her.

“Wait! What?”

She shrugged.

“I know I should have told you about my mother, but…”

Booth shut that down.

“Honor, if you think as a witch I didn’t know there was a spirit haunting our home, you are crazy. I’m talking about you being depressed. That’s my concern in all of this. That you should have come to me, so I could help you.”

She said nothing.

Why?

Because she’d been afraid to lose herself in that moment, and also to have him decorate her in herbs and rocks. Her husband had some questionable moments.

He waited, but she still said nothing.

“Are you taking meds?” he asked.

She shook her head.

“No.”

Well, there was at least that.

Tori could feel the woman’s discomfort, so she jumped in to help Honor.

She was a girl’s girl, after all.
