The rest of Erna's day was filled with the standard cases of marital and family issues. There was soke depressions, schizophrenia, and anxiety among the mix. For the most part, London was like America, except there were not as many franchised coffee shops and that was rather a plus in her book.

"Erna, that is all for today. I will lock up." said Sandra. She had finally learned the receptionist's name.

"How did it go with Mr. Holmes? Must've went well, he was in there for a whole ten minutes and rescheduled to meet with you again." she said beaming. Erna was not sure of the fascination

"Sure, it was fine." she said. "I'm sorry but I have to ask, should I know him? Is he famous?"

Sandra looked shocked. "You never heard of Sherlock Holmes?"

"No, that's why I ask." she said. "I mean, I am fom America and I have been working a lot. Did I miss something? Would it be important for me to know since he's my client well, for now."

"Well, you can google him and decide for yourself." she said clearly disappointed in her.

"Ok, I might. By the way, there was lead detective who worked a case a few years back on a James Moriarty. Do you by chance know the name? I wanted to talk with him for my dissertation." asked Erna.

Sandra's face went white. "You might google that too. Evening." she said avoiding any further conversation.

Erna packed up and headed back to Ella's apartment. She got on the computer and googled the detective inspector for the case of James Moriarty. She wrote down the name Lestrade. She then googled Sherlock Holmes. She didn't spend long but saw he seemed to be quite the big deal. There was just something about him. She could not tell if it was dread or anticipation when thinking of their next session. No matter. She called to talk to the Dectective Inspector Lestrade. He was out but she made an appointment to speak to him the next day. Her profesor had reccomended her to look in to the case as it would serve her writing of her dissertation. She hoped he was right.

She met DI Lestrade at a local deli.

"Thank you for meeting with me." she said.

"Of course, what brings you to London?" he asked.

"Change of pace. I'm helping a friend and working on my dissertation. " she said.

"Well, however I can help by sharing my experience on the case I am more than willing. You might find more informatiin in the paoers though." he said.

"I don't really trust the media. I prefer people." she said. "I mean, you had first hand experience with Mr, Moriarty, correct?"

"Somewhat. The man you really need to speak to is Mr. Sherlock Holmes." he said. As Erna sipped her coffee she choked as the name came out of his mouth. Lestrade patted her back and grabbed a napkin.

"You alright? I mean, that is a perfeftly normal reaction to mention of him." he chuckled as he saw her smile.

"Sorry, yes, fine. I just wasn't familiar with that name until yesterday." she said.

"Seem to be a rather fast learner. " he joked.

"Well, I will have to look him up," said Erna knowing she could not disclose they had already met or she would be breaching client privacy.

"I can arrange a meeting if you'd like." he said as the chimes of the deli door rang. "Well, speak of the devil." he said waving. Erna turned to see Mr. Holmes walking towards Lestrade.

"Greg." he said nodding. "I take it your flailing arm was intended to catch my attention."

"Good to see you too. This is Erna Halbeck. She was inquiring about the Moriarty case for her dissertation." said Lestrade.

"I see. Well, I am sure you shared it is an ongoing investigation, recently re-opened and we are not at liberty to discuss. Good day." said Sherlock turning to leave.

"Excuse me." said Lestrade clealry irritated. He chased him down and the had a short discussion. Erna saw a text from Sandra at the office. Client needs to be seen if possible. Call or text me.

Erna walked up to the talking men. "I'm sorry there is a need at work I must see to. I'm sorry to cut our time short, Detective Inspector Lestrade. I would love to talk again if the case allows. I will be in touch." she looked at Sherlock. "Interesting to meet you." she said exiting the deli. Lestrade chuckled as Sherlock watched her leave.

"You have a way with people." said Lestrade patting his arm as he left.
