I've played out that scenario. Lost in Dreams featured cosmic world jumping. One character visited and left both Yrth and Conventry under her own power. Eventually a dragon put a spell on her that let him cast spells where-ever she was and tried to force her to do his bidding. An infinity agent with an anti-magic sword got her out of that. She could be held at that point, and infinity did its best to get her as an agent. They looked around for leverage that could get her to stay working for them permanently: family or something like that.
The situation worked out because:
- They could hold her if they really needed to (though only one very valuable agent could do so)
- She had unique abilities other than world jumping that Infinity really wanted. (other quanta, magic detection, and this infinity didn't have a well-stocked ISWAT).
- She didn't have particularly criminal inclinations, and felt like a safe bet
- Killing her would likely neutralize one of their most valuable assets (the sword) for quite a while of time
