After finding the right building, Laura was, however, captured and tied up in a storeroom. Jenny arrived soon after, learning about Laura's general whereabouts using a pendulum inset with a lock of her hair, and about her ''exact'' whereabouts from the heavy guarding the door. After shifting one guard to parts unknown and spooking the other one by switching his weapon with a ceramic lamp, she easily banished Lord Grallyx, though not before he set the building on fire, and used her powers to unlock the door, finding Laura halfway through getting out of her bindings by herself. Because Jenny didn't want Laura's bosses to know about her [[shift]]ing abilities, she took care to make up a plausible cover story before she used them in Laura's vicinity, claiming to Laura that she was actually using hypnotism to make her forget the means by which they escaped their dire circumstances (rather than them having genuinely teleported to the safety of Laura's home in the blink of an eye). Laura was personally unconvinced but agreed to write as much in her report, which she headed off to type, though promising to spend the night with Jenny as soon as she was done.

One version of Jenny was “very French” and went by the name of Jeanne Partout. After being ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'') of the versions of Jenny summoned by [[Universe F (Paying It Forward)|one world]]'s [[Jenny Everywhere 6 (Paying It Forward)|Jenny]] to help spook a [[Sandy-haired man (Paying It Forward)|sandy-haired man]] who'd gotten on the bad side of the local Jenny and apparently did not believe her claims of being a multi-dimensional entity, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'') she later joined the afterparty in [[Universe G (Paying It Forward)|another universe]] with twenty or so other Jennies. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'', ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'') She bickered at length with [[Jenny Cornelius|Jenny Cornelius]], a version of Jenny who was as emphatically English as Jeanne was French, with [[Jenny Everywhere (Parallax Universe)|the “Kim's friend” Jenny]] doing what she could to keep the level of acrimony subdued.
