(Catwoman III #48, 49) - Batman captured Cheetah, and delivered her to the GCPD. Worth told Lenahan that Gotham was much more hectic than his old stomping grounds in Youngstown. They went to their meeting with Sam Bradley, their man inside Strange's syndicate. Smart Bomb / Sam reported that Strange was keeping him busy making sure they were the only game in town, and he was doing his best to make sure noone got killed. Lenahan said not to try too hard, because the East End could do with a few less live criminals, and Sam told him to watch it. Soon afterwards Sam wanted to end the investigation when he believed Strange had Catwoman killed, but Commissioner Akins told him to remain on the case until he had evidence of bigger crimes than the death of one person. Catwoman faked her own death, and ran Strange's men out of town.

(Catwoman III #50) - Worth and Lenahan interrogated Angle Man, asking him why he didn't use his angles that bent time or controlled gravity anymore, and Angle Man admitted he'd lost some of his tech, and the rest had been stolen. They brought out an old explosive angle from evidence, which the bomb squad assured them was disabled, and said he'd be doing them and himself a favor if he revealed how his tech worked. The bomb squad didn't know how to properly disarm the weapon, so Angle Man turned his weapon on and blew a hole through the floor, escaping. Lenahan contacted Smart Bomb, telling him Angle Man had escaped. They wanted him to contact him, but not apprehend him, because word on the street was that he had a connection with Black Mask.

(Catwoman III #52) - Black Mask had chosen to kidnap Slam Bradley instead of Holly, and when Smart Bomb broke into his penthouse he found his father tortured, and nearly dead. After assaulting Black Mask he flew his father to the hospital. Lenahan met with Sam, and warned him that he'd probably be dismissed from the force, and face criminal charges since Black Mask was suing the city. Lenahan said he never liked Sam, seeing him as an uptight prig who coasted on his father's reputation, but he deserved to know what was coming and get ahead of it. Sam agreed to help Catwoman take care of Black Mask once and for all, breaking the Smart Bomb suit out of evidence. Worth and Lenahan responded to the break in, and Lenahan complained that Sam was being ungrateful for the help he'd tried to offer. Angle Man had sabotaged the suit, and injected Worth and Lenahan with a sedative so they couldn't pursue Sam. Sam made a crash landing into a rooftop, barely clinging to life as he was rushed to the hospital.

(Catwoman III #53) - <one year later> Catwoman laid low after Black Mask's murder, and retired permanently when she gave birth, handed the Catwoman identity to Holly Robinson. Lenahan became obsessed with proving Catwoman's guilt in Black Mask's death, and Worth told him he should just be grateful Mask was off the streets, and scum like him deserved to die. The new Catwoman busted up a stolen video equipment ring, and Lenahan interviewed one of the crooks to get him to confirm Catwoman's reemergence. The criminal asked for a deal, but spilled his guts when Lenahan threatened to pin a number of unsolved child abductions on him and telling him he wouldn't fare well in prison with that as a rep.

(Catwoman III #56-60) - Lenahan worked late into the night on the Black Mask case and his evidence that Catwoman was back. Worth reiterated that Black Mask's death was a good thing, and that if he never left the office he'd lose his sanity. It finally hit Lenahan that the facial structure and body type of Catwoman didn't match the woman he'd encountered, so there was a new Catwoman in the East End. Worth told him he was really losing it, and needed to find a girlfriend to obsess over instead of Catwoman, but Lenahan convinced him his evidence was on point. Lenahan and the GCPD responded to a Catwoman sighting, and after creating a police barricade Lenahan drew his gun and told her she was under arrest. Lenahan Holly was unmasked and booked. Lenahan showed her Black Mask's skull, and said he knew she wasn't the Catwoman who'd killed him, but he was more than willing to watcch her go down for it. She used her one phonecall to ring Wildcat, asking if the JSA or Green Lantern could help her. Lenahan told Detective Worth the longer they kept her locked up the better the chance the Catwoman he wanted would show up to help her. Zatanna, doing a favor for Catwoman, used her magic to make Angle Man walk up to Lenahan and Worth and confess his crimes. Lenahan said he was disappointed he wouldn't get to beat a confession out of him. Lenahan left Holly in a gen pop holding cell, assuring she'd get roughed up. Worth told him that his vendetta against costumes was pointless with Commissioner Gordon back in charge, and Lenahan snapped that things hadn't changed for him in the East End. Lenahan and Worth got reports of the start of Film Freak's bizarre murder spree. Catwoman entered a crawlspace above the East End interrogation room, where Lenahan kept threatening Holly to get her to give him Catwoman's real name. Catwoman new she needed a distraction, but providence came when Film Freak unleashed a giant gorilla on the East End in an homage to "King Kong," and Lenahan and Worth were called away to deal with it. Catwoman rescued Holly and she was overjoyed. Catwoman couldn't stand to see the East End police detsroy the dumb brute rampaging through the city, so she knocked out the giant gorilla with a smoke bomb, disabling it, but saving it's life.

(Catwoman III #63) - Catwoman wanted to prove to Holly that she couldn't go back to her apartment, so she ordered pizza to her place, and they watched through binoculars as the delivery boy arrived. Lenahan was stalking the lobby, and demanded to know if the pizza boy knew where Holly was. Catwoman said Holly shouldn't underestimate Lenahan, because even though he was one man he was obsessed. Worth woke Lenahan from another of his late night work sessions, and told him the lieutenant wanted a word with him. The Lieutenant said he needed Lenahan closing cases and not devoting all his time to Catwoman. He ordered him to stop his investigation or turn in his badge, and Lenahan gritted his teeth and said he understood.
