Laura's superiors later sent her to [[Slough]] to investigate the cultists worshipping the [[Tenth Lord Grell]], based on a notion that a young woman would be “inconspicuous”, which Laura found rather patronising. The day before, she got a phone call from [[Jenny Cornelius]], who had received a tip-off from [[Crowley#In Jenny Cornelius's world|alternative means]], and unsuccessfully tried to convince Jenny to stay out of Slough. After finding the right building, Laura was, however, captured and tied up in a storeroom. Jenny defeated 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 day at work she had a [[Sophie Everytime (38167th Universe)|mysterious visitor]], "a teenager who should probably still be in school, with dark skin and strikingly blue eyes, her hair hidden by an unconvincing wig." The girl dropped in on her unannounced and asked about Jenny Cornelius, so Laura told her a story about going on a road trip and seeing “some silly teenage boys who had a band.” ([[PROSE]]: ''[[How Jenny First Met...
