Question Continuing a count from lead

As lead in a 2-person game, I had a player begin a dribble in my area, and a defender closed in. I started a five second count. At about 3 seconds the dribbler dribbled across into my partner's area with her defender still closely guarding her. I was left wondering what to do.

If this had happened to me at trail, and the dribbler crossed over into the lead's area, obviously I would follow her somewhat and keep my count on. But I have never in my life seen a lead do this. Is it proper for the lead to continue this count and make the five second call from the baseline? Does it make a difference how far out of the lead's area the dribbler goes?
