"So Miss. Jones I believe you have just recently turned 21?"asked the solicitor.

"Yes, yes I have." replied Alison. She was bored, she didn't know why on earth she had been called to this place.

"Well first of all let me congratulate you," said the solicitor who had smiled revealing a row of gleaming white teeth.

"Thank you" Alison mumbled while tucking a loose strand of her chestnut hair behind her ear.

" I believe you know what this means?,".

"Well I am not entirely sure, If you could, Erm maybe, explain?" What was he trying to say?

"Are you sure? do you need sometime to think? I mean most people usually sell their property's as the stock price is..."

"I think I made it clear that I want to keep the property."snapped Alison.

"Well okay I..okay we can do that, I'll just need you to fill In a couple of forms and sign a couple of papers..."

Alison sighed, it looked like she wouldn't be leaving this place anytime soon...
