Invisible wall

The blackmailer obviously heard what Anna just said and considers it a massive threat if that large man is around again. But Anna could just be drunk talking how she wants the blackmailer dead, there might not be any actual threat behind all of this.

At least he hopes not!

Regardless of the possible deadly threat, Anna is still supposed to bring 10,000£ tonight. That money is the only reason why the blackmailer hasn't made a run for it towards the exit regardless of what the fancy folk would think about such an act.

As soon as they left the restaurant, the waiter approached with the blackmailer's ID card and almost thanks to instinct the waiter says. "Here you go mister Trevor, your room is C9 on the second floor."

"You're name is Trevor? What an ugly name. Ugly ugly ugly." Anna teases, giggling her way towards the elevator and somehow escaping the blackmailer's grip.

"I'm sorry about her, she doesn't handle alcohol very well. I thought she would only take a sip." Trevor apologized and made his way after Anna, ignoring anything the waiter might have said after.

Jack has been following them, although neither of them noticed it and Anna is basically too drunk to even remember the rest of the plan.

What both of them did not know either, is that Jack is in the same elevator with them. Thank god the elevator is roomy, or else this entire plan would go downhill and Jack would have... to damage the blackmailer here.

In fact, if it was a good idea to kill him anywhere out of the hotel room, Jack would have done it at an instant when Anna drunkenly said, "Let's have sex quicker so Jack can kill you."

Jack has all capabilities to kill the blackmailer there, but since he isn't visible this murder would be automatically synced with Anna, it would get the lady in horrendous trouble.

Jack gave out several sighs of relief about the fact that the blackmailer didn't run off, it necessarily means that this plan to once and for all free Anna from these petty threats, is still in motion.

...

Walking out of the elevator and making a journey of 5 meters, Trevor started hearing light but noticeable footsteps.

The way how he noticed these steps, was in between Anna's steps who are louder than anyone else's here since she is wearing heels.

When Anna wasn't making noise with her taps, that's when Trevor noticed lighter steps. This is something worth considering since the time when Anna wasn't making noise with her steps was shorter than half a second.

In one way it seemed like an echo coming out of the loud steps Anna made, but no... paranoia is making the man think otherwise.

When noticing that someone might be following them, Trevor started getting more and more spooked. But fuck, he needs that money so going through this is a must. At this rate, sleeping with Anna might not be so important.

...

Finally making it to the hotel room, Trevor took a while to open the door because on one hand he was trying to keep Anna on her feet and on the other hand he's shaking enough to miss the keyhole 7 times.

Obviously, a few footsteps were enough to push his paranoia anxiety through the roof. If not dead, this man Trevor might end up developing PPD thanks to this night.

The two finally made it into the room, and Jack is practically 10 feet away watching them and trying not to giggle at how scared this big bad blackmailer has become.

Jack took a step forward to walk in but as if bad luck is constantly by their side, another lady from a different room very close to the one Trevor rented, dashed out of the door obviously late for something and bumped into Jack at that built up speed and momentum.

Jack was very close to this lady's door, the two doors are almost connected to each other come to think of it. So it does make a lot of sense that this rushing lady bumped in to him as soon as she ran out of the room.

In panic, the lady starts shouting for help! Obviously this isn't the most favorable situation.

To her it felt like hitting a hard invisible wall, even hurt her nose a little bit but not as much as the ankles while falling down.

Yes, she fell down flat with the high heels doing most of the work. But for fuck's sake this situation went for the worst, what happened here wasn't calculated at all.

Sure Jack is used to avoiding human contact when Invisible, but didn't think that him bumping in to someone would fuck up or slow down this whole plan.

Imagine how paranoid the blackmailer feels now, hearing this woman scream through the hallway.

It makes it a bit concerning for Jack that no sound is being heard from the room Anna is in. Either these doors are sound proof, or something else is going on in there.

It is too big of a risk for Jack to help this lady stand up. For a start, it would probably traumatize her since it will feel like some ghost lifting helping the lady up after knocking her down. And as a finishing reason, the blackmailer has been inside with Anna longer than they planned.

Tip toeing his way towards Trevor's rented room, he grabs the handle but is quick to figure out that the blackmailer was smart enough to lock the door.

Well this complicates things, in other terms it means that Jack doesn't need to be quiet anymore.

He takes a few steps back, reaches the walls on the other side of this 4 meter wide hallway and with a sprint on his feet runs, jumps and kicks the door right near the handle.

Heavy and strong enough, that was all he needed to break the door open.

Shit this will cost a lot of money to compensate this, well at least Anna didn't give her ID card.

Jack dashes in the room and notices three key characteristics here. Anna for a start, has completely crashed on the bed, really can't handle alcohol.

Second, Anna's purse has been poured all across the room and yes the envelope containing 10,000£ is missing.

Last but not least, the blackmailer ain't in this room and the window is wide open, wind blowing on the curtains lightly.

Snapping into visibility, Jack found it relieving to express. "Oh for fuck's sake."
