During the time of Forest's sessions, Leiber had a huge caseload and admitted that Forest fell through the cracks of bureaucracy, although her explanation fell on death ears, as Forest began to seek revenge on the apologetic social worker, but was interrupted by the arrival of May Parker (Spider-Girl), who Forest asked to leave, because she could not harm a fellow victim. Forest eventually left St. Andrew's temporary shelter for victims of abuse, in search of her primary abuser ex-boyfriend; Leiber tracked Forest to an abandoned tenement where her boyfriend used to reside. Leiber was unaware that she was being tailed by detective Drasco, who was trying to locate another resident of the St. Andrew's shelter Mona Carlo, who reportedly had the King Pin's personal criminal files.
