The Blackmailer is gone, the plan failed and Anna could be receiving threats soon enough. The situation shifted towards the shitiest, so the best thing to do now is snap into invisibility, grab Anna and get the hell out of this place before trouble arrives.
Jack can hear people running down the hallway, and seeing a broken door near the lady will make people put two and two together, seeing Anna knocked out on the bed won't help the case either. Weird isn't it? Jack doesn't have anything to do with either of these cases yet any naked eye can see him as guilty.
Well at least here invisibility can outrun what's logical in other points of view, he has Anna on his Arms and has already snapped into invisibility. This time he didn't forget to make her invisible as well.
Two men dashed in the room, since that lady apparently has pointed towards this place several times now. When these couple of men saw no one here and a window wide open, they figured that whoever "harmed" this lady is already long gone.
This will ruin the Hotel's reputation a little bit, what rich folk would come here if they think that there are Ghosts here. In the long term it can damage the Hotel's income for a while, but when you think it through everyone is innocent here apart from the Blackmailer who climbed and ran away.
...
Nobody saw Jack throughout the entire time he was in the Hotel, so he decided to visit Ali's place once more and ask if he has some coffee, since it is known to fight off drunkenness. Of course Anna is still knocked out, but she can wake up.
As for anyone seeing Anna in Ali's place, chances are slim for it to become a problem. Although she is stunning, the Hotel staff are busy trying to calm down the lady who saw a "Ghost". No one would think to come here and ask, "Hey Ali we are looking for a red haired girl who associated with a Ghost. Have you seen anything?" Obviously that would slander the Hotel's name for the worst.
Snapping to visibility once entering Ali's shop, the sudden appearance of two people spooked him a bit. Apparently the kind middle aged old man was a nudge close to falling asleep, there are no costumers either so it explains his state.
"Aha you are finally here." Ali spoke up in joy, although Jack can hear it in his tone that he is drowsy.
Seeing Anna knocked out, but thankfully breathing, concern arose above the kind man. He instantly asked, "What happened to her?"
"Alcohol knocked her out, she can't handle it at all." Jack replied swiftly, and decided to ask what he came here for in the first place. "Can I bother you for some coffee?"
"This is why my family doesn't drink Alcohol!" And getting to the main point he rushed towards his little corner there, pulled a drawer and reached for a foot long paper bag containing enriching black raw coffee beans.
"I should have it ready in about a minute, you try waking your Lady up first." Ali explained as he pointed towards a table, advising it best if he laid her comfortably on a Chair.
In the meantime, Ali poured the Beans in the Grinder and afterwards sealed the lid on it. Pulling the Lever a tad bit, grinded coffee poured upon the cup like handle that is supposed to be attached in the Coffee Machine after.

This little Coffee set up of his alone has costed him about 4,800£ and it came in handy too because he didn't prepare the coffee in one minute but around 30 seconds instead. The water in the coffee machine is constantly boiling so there is absolutely no need to wait for it heat up.
He approached Anna and Jack with a large cup of coffee, placing it on the table near them he watches Anna slowly break into consciousness, Jack shook her pretty hard here especially panicking when she refused to wake up.
Glad that she is waking up, Ali goes ahead to close the door although the two didn't notice it. This is a sensitive scene, and he doesn't want to deal with any costumers right now.
But furthermore, he has something to show tonight. "I've closed the door, your Lady won't drunkenly run off Habibi. Come to this room, you need to see something."
Although the conversation and his actions started off as a bit shady, Ali proved as the Hero of the night. Jack didn't want to leave Anna alone for a second, but she is too drunk to have a conversation with plus Ali is insisting far too much.
The Storage room appears to be through a door close to the bathroom, that's obviously a bad mix. Regardless of that, it matters more what's inside.
Once opening the Storage room, Jack could see a lot of brown boxes, a lightbulb keeping the place illuminated too and there is a freezer at the edge of the room likely used to store meat.
Apart from those, in the middle of the room he sees a man's legs and arms tied up closely together with a chef's coat and a piece of fried burger meat forced in his mouth. Well at least the burger meat tastes good, although this man looks like a christmas pig.
Upon first glance when Ali turned the man on his back, Jack instantly noticed that this is Trevor. His face is unmistakable, Jack has been observing this man for half an hour in the Restaurant.
Ali Asked to be sure first, to get rid of his own guilt. "Is this the man you are after?"
"That's actually him!" Jack whispered in a celebrating tone, but at the same time getting angrier towards the Blackmailer.
Happy, angry but confused as well Jack asked a question while also explaining the situation. "How did you even catch him? He was ten feet away from me but still managed to escape!"
"He lost his grip while climbing down from the Hotel room, lucky for him he didn't break any bones just sprained both of his ankles." Now this is where Ali proved as the Hero of the night, he managed to catch this plague to society.
And getting a bit cocky here, he showed a bit of his naughty side. "I brought him here to give him some ice, but gave him beef instead." And afterwards he started giggling, while old Trevor over there started panicking.
Jack's right hand started heating up, glowing hard as well but since this place is illuminated the hand looks mostly red. Looking at Trevor, thinking how he has terrorized Anna's mental state too long now, he [Jack] murmured. "This is where it ends Sir Trevor."
The Blackmailer started panicking, and without even considering the fact that a dead body in his storage room would be bad for business, Ali grabbed Jack by the shoulder and advised. "There has to be another way, this is too much."
"There is no other way, once we let this man go he will threaten Anna again. He is too dangerous to be left alive, who knows how many other girls he is terrorizing!" Jack carries the firmest point here, but is murder really the only answer?
"Maybe just go and take all of his... What do you call them?" He tried to figure the name out, snapping his fingers too. "Smart devices. Doesn't he store them there?"
Panicking, as if trying to say "Yes" over and over. Trevor shook on his spot trying to get attention and finally swallowed all the meat he had in his mouth and spoke. "If you kill me, it would be useless."
"Why would it be useless? The problem would be fixed here with your death." Jack pointed out the obvious.
And finally, shedding light at this case by offering a vital yet shocking piece of information, Trevor explained. "I'm not alone with this work, the man who used to Blackmail Anna is dead. You killed him that night, I'm his partner in this little organisation we made."
