"Ok, who's next?" one calls out down the hall. Multiple flashes are seen and clients go in and out of the studio as Marilyn takes their pictures
endlessly. What appears to be lighting speed, it really is a drag as the momentum of taking pictures were that of a factory line. After the last
client leaves, Marilyn takes a short break. He puts up a sign that reads 'Will return in 1 hour' outside the studio door.

"I can't believe I have to do this for 3 more hours, today" Marilyn sighed, taking a bottle of water. Just as he is about to drink, he hears a
cooing sound outside the studio. "Uh-oh. It sounds like one of the kids got lost again". He sets the bottle down and opens the door, then
looks around. "Mary-lu!" Marilyn looks down and sees Danso. "Danso, what are you doing here? Where's your mom?" He then picks up the
little tot. "Mommy work". says Danso. "Well your mom doesn't like it when you go walking around by yourself, so I'll take you to her when
I'm done. Here." Marilyn gives him a Kia plushie. "You can play with this for a while". Danso grabs the doll, but then sees a camera with a
shiny silver lens and goes to reach for it. "Ooh, shiny" "No, Danso, you can't play with that.  That's part of my work" Speaking of work,
Marilyn's break was over and he goes to see more clients.

Meanwhile, Koda is seen outside doing some form of research. He seems to be stuck in a rut. "This isn't making any sense. All the instructions
tell me I should be right where I'm standing now. I'm going to have to re-trace my steps. Come on, Danso." Danso is not seen and does not answer. "Danso? Danso! Oh no, I gotta find him and fast!" Koda darts out to every area outside for the young boy.

Back at the studio, Marilyn finishes the last client's set of pictures. He changes the sign to 'Closed' and heads for his office to pick up Danso.
"Ok Danso, time to go--Danso, NO!" Marilyn shouts. Danso is seen grabbing the silver lens camera and drops it onto the ground. The camera
lens break and the film is exposed. "Danso! I told you not to play with that!" Marilyn bellows angrily. Danso runs out the office with
 the roll of film, knocking over several other pieces of equipment. Marilyn finally stops the boy and is now furious. "Look what you've done! Now
I have to pay for all this! That was a very bad thing, Danso! Come here!" He then takes the small boy over his knee.

"Danso! Where are you?" Koda shouts. He continues to make rounds outside when he hears a loud scream. "Oh, no! Kia's gonna kill me, if
something happens to that little rugrat!" Koda follows the screaming, which leads to the photography studio. Koda looks around and sees
Danso, who is getting a spanking from Marilyn. "You. (smack)  Don't. (smack)  Break. (smack) People's. (smack) Things. It's not right!" "Yo, stop, what are you doing?!" Koda says running to them.  "Uncle Koba!" Danso runs to Koda, crying. "Oh my god. I-I'm sorry! I-I don't know what came over me!" Marilyn stammers. "Hey man, sorry's not going to cut it! This is a little kid, here! I should tell Kia what you did right now!" Koda says, while pulling out his phone. Marilyn panics even more. "No Koda, don't do that! Danso's the apple of Kia's eye. If she finds out what I did, she'll kill me. Please don't tell her or anybody ".

Koda ponders this thought. 'If I tell Kia about this, she'll blame me for not watching him. I think I'll have some fun with this, just to make Marilyn squirm a little.' "Ok, I won't tell, but you got to do something for me" "Anything!" "Anything?" Koda thinks of errands to give to Marilyn, in an twisted way.
Storyline: Overtime, plus stress, does not pan out too well for Marilyn and when he takes out his frustration the wrong way, a certain agent
decides to use this to their advantage (and amusement).
