Jennifer is valiantly holding it together. This is mostly due to what she feels would happen if she didn't - she already made a scene being brought in. She doesn't want to give anyone any more reason to think she's unstable. Going down that road? Not really something she wants to do again.
Besides, there has to be an explanation. Something the room did to her or a Trouble or - she doesn't know. She doesn't know, but this has to be some kind of test because she's not sure what she'll do if this isn't. She's not sure when her life became insane enough that the idea this is just another weird thing thrown at her in a line of weird things that have been thrown at her lately is comforting, but it is. Then again, maybe this is something William has somehow done to her, which -
Well, that isn't comforting at all.
She doesn't really know how long she'd been in there before she heard the sound of someone approaching. She's apprehensive at first - can she be blamed for that? - but this new face catches her off guard with the blanket. It's the first kind gesture she's seen since this nightmare started, and she stands and tentatively accepts it, wrapping it around her shoulders.
"I already told someone what happened," she says, still very much trying to hold it together. In a way, it honestly did feel like her stay at the hospital. Pretend to be okay so things wouldn't get worse. "I - I have no idea how I got in that basement and I certainly wasn't trying to steal anything. I couldn't even bring myself to steal from a broken vending machine once, you know, this is crazy. If you would just call the Haven police department, I could let you talk to someone there who knows me and can tell you this some kind of misunderstanding."
And okay, she is omitting that time she helped Duke, who was a potential criminal, break out of the hospital that one time. She just isn't counting that because he was innocent and also the proof she wasn't just hearing things - that's absolutely a pass for her behavior right there, if you ask her. Regardless, someone can patch it in to Nathan what's happening if they would just listen to her. Considering she is the one with the magic book and the only one that apparently had the ability to help stop what was happening, she's sure he'd find a way to get her back quickly.

She just hopes Vince and Dave are okay.
