With Blake, she was a member of the White Fang for her entire life pretty much and has probably seen some of the worst evils of humans. She has been educated on some of the actions certain companies try and keep on the down low and seems pretty smart overall. However considering she managed to keep her cool around Weiss for several weeks without any kind of huge incident says a lot about her character to me. It wasn't until Weiss and her indirectly revealed the skeletons in their respective closets that she freaked out and with good reason.

Yes Weiss went out looking for her with the others, but spent much of that time trying to get the others to go to the police. Blake is trying to make up for her past and she couldn't do that in jail (ok, that isn't entirely true; she could turn herself in and do her time, but that wouldn't really help anyone but herself). Keep in mind that Weiss and Blake have known each other and are teammates for the past several weeks and Weiss even told Ruby she would be a better teammate. But she was still willing to sell her down the river and only reconsidered after a lot of thinking; which she could only do without Blake around.

It wasn't until Ruby appeared that Blake would feel that her new friends really are her friends, at least Ruby is. It is obvious however that she wouldn't know how Weiss would react based on her immediately trying to explain her past, only to be cut off.
