"So glad you made it"

I looked back into the infinite darkness to try and get an idea where the voice was coming from. All I saw was black. When I turned my head to the fireplace Chad Billington was standing there, nonchalantly, as if he were there the whole time."I  said I'm so glad you made it. Please, come out of the gloom." Neither Olivia, nor I respond. Chad claps his hands. A moment later every single light in the cabin pops on. The sudden brightness causes us to wince. "My apologies for  the assault on your retinas, but I did ask you to come out of the gloom." "What kind of game are you playing?" I ask, still squinting. "A game? Whatever makes you think that." "There is a madman out there." Olivia shouts. "And what does this madman look like?" "He's your driver." She says with gritted teeth.  "You mean the man standing behind you?" Chad asks. Olivia and I turn to see the driver standing right behind us.He holds a butcher knife in a sinister fashion. Olivia yelps while I'm frozen in place. "Come now, what are you so afraid of?" Chad asks. "Because he wants to carve us like a pumpkin." Olivia shouts. "With What? His ball point pen?" Chad says. "He has a large knife." "Look closer." Chad instructs. We look at the knife. All the sudden as if by magic, the large knife turns to a small pen. Chad walks to the driver. "You see, the pen truly is mightier than the sword." I take a deep breath. "What's going on?" I ask. Chad smiles smugly. "I  want you to sign some papers."
