Security footage? What security footage?

Who: Jack Phantom
Where: His room, New Hawaii hotel
When: 40 mins after last post :P
Jack and his companion, he had yet to learn her name, lay in a mass
of tangled and sweaty limbs. She made the first move.
"Sorry Spaceman, I had fun but I've got to get going." She said
groggily.
"Sure. I've got places I really should be too." He extricated his
legs from hers and sat up, admiring her form as she rose from the
bed and dressed herself in the sun dappled light that streamed
through the blinds. Afterwards she was almost through the door when
his concience got the better of him and he called out:
"Hey, what's your name by the way? I remember telling you mine."
"Alice. Thanks for a good time Jack, who knows, we might meet
again." And with that she opened the door and Alice was gone.
He listened to her bare feet pad down the carpeted hallway until
they were gone before dressing himself and leaving the room too.
On passing Amber's room he found the door open and the interior
looked as though a crazy person with a lawnmower had been allowed to
run free in there. He finished strapping on the shoulder holsters
and looked about inside. He knew that Amber and Mel had fierece
tempers, but still this could be serious. He decided to start
looking for everyone at the front desk and move out from there.
The hotel was surprisingly empty of people, Jack noticed as he
wandered towards the front desk. There was a pale looking woman
behind it who stared at him with a look of fear in her eyes as he
approached.
He was about to ask if she'd seen any of his colleagues when he
heard the distinct voice of Keto exclaim from somewhere nearby:
"Potential problem solved."
Jack saw the open door to the security room and walked through,
nodding to the receptionist and smiling.
"What potential problem guys?" He said to the assembled group
standing amongst the towers of tapes.
"Erm, n-nothing Jack, we were just-" He fumbled for an appropriate
excuse and looked to his companions.
"Well Jack, we were going to remove the tapes from our rooms to
cover our tracks in case we were followed." Said Keto matter-of-
factly.
"Hmm, that would be a good idea, if we were being followed."
Replied Jack, "As far as I know we aren't running from anything." He
grinned, "People seem to be running from us though."
"Well anyway, we've disposed of our tape." Amber indicated the
disposal hatch.
"Your TAPE?" Phantom raised an eyebrow, "You mean TAPES surely?"
"Yes, yes tapes." Keto spat and mumbled to Amber "He's pretty sharp
for a gunslinger. Better watch him from now on."
"Done mine yet?" The 'gunslinger' asked.
"No, hold on. Here it is." Pete pulled one from a pile and sent the
rest of them tumbling. "What did you get up to last night I wonder."
He said slipping it into the machine.
"Ah, no, erm, don't worry about it. It'll just be me sleeping."
This was the first time Jack had been flustered in a long while.
Suddenly the sights and sounds of Jack's nighttime exploits filled
the room.
"Oh God turn it off Marwood, Phantom's backside is the last thing I
want to see this morning." Keto looked away and Jack coughed
suddenly embarrased.
"Dude, if thats what you call 'just sleeping' I'm not going to
share a room with you EVER!" Pete smirked and removed the tape
before flinging it into the chute.
"Right, everyone happy? We should really be getting those coconuts.
Chilling out is one thing, but this has been anything but relaxing."
Amber went to leave but turned back;
"Any of you seen Mel or Shakey?"
The others shook their heads and followed her back into the foyer...
