Sonata trained with my people. She knew the inner works of the highest training level in Britain, and this realization brought back one of those pointless memories.

Within the memory, I was yelling for Athena to get me tea. That was when I heard a small voice ask "Can I get Mr. Holmes tea?" Athena had thought nothing of the small child, and within minutes, a girl, about nine years of age brought me a cup of tea.

"Mr. Holmes." She said handing me the cup of tea.

"You're not Athena." I said eyeing the girl suspiciously. "Who are you?"

"I am a song, one played by masters of the craft, maybe considering it to be classic." She gave me a riddle that baffled me. "Not 1-2-3, but something else it seems." At that moment she left the room, thanked Athena, and came back almost every day for two weeks, to find out if I was still hung up on the riddle.

I now understood! Sonata, that was the girl's name. "A song played by the masters of the craft, maybe considering it to be classic, not 1-2-3 but something else, it seems...." I recited from my memory. Sonata grinned.

"Took you long enough." She laughed.

"Sonata, not minuet, not waltz!" I laughed, Greg held me up by the waist. Sherlock and John looked so confused, and Sonata's grin was infectious.

"When I trained with Mycroft's people, I gave him a riddle to figure out my name, and he just now figured it out!" She then went into the kitchen and returned with a red file folder. "I kept coming back to gain this," she showed the contents of the folder, "I had to know."

This was the documents that I showed John and Sherlock earlier. Sonata took these from right under my nose. And I haven't had this much respect for someone since I was in my twenties.
