[It doesn't take half-an-hour to get to underground facility from Jack's house, at least not with the kind of pokemon-taxi that Steven ends up calling. What takes most of that half-hour is figuring out which room Spinel's been put in, especially given how the admins don't like Steven as much as they used to these days--which reminds him that he ought to pull off something big for the Team pretty soon, despite the disdain he feels for the local element, if only to make up for how the mascot heist went awry.
But Steven has the room number and he has a pokeball with Spinel's Stufful in it and before that half-hour is quite over, she'll hear him knocking on the door to her dorm room.]

Spinel? This is Steven Durante. Can I come in?
