OCD Action

It’s 3.45pm and Nige is in the office whilst Jules is at the dentist. There are two new detectives on the scene; an old hand, Screaming Bob, and a rookie, Miss Werewolf ‘look at my boobs’ Brown.
Werewolf: Nige, I thought your mates picking you up in a bit, you not packing up?
Nige: Yeah yeah he is ‘em he’s not here yet, just need to make sure the locked draw is still locked since I checked a minute ago that it was locked after checking it was locked after checking.
Screaming: So the trial starts next week, we need the case files up to date and signing off; it’s not up to me, I’m not the boss, I’m just saying, I haven’t the authority but if I did I would sign them but that’s my opinion, I haven’t got the authority anymore; I’m not telling you what to do!
Nige: Are these the case files are on your desk awaiting your input.
Screaming: My desk? When; you may have sent them but I haven’t seen them but no I mean we need to get on with them.
Nige: Yes I agree but they are waiting for you!
Screaming: Waiting for me? Oh forgive me oh I may have them but we do need them to be done.
Nige: I think we agree don’t we, we just need to get on with it.
Nige looks around to see if he has left anything again. He double and triple checks his list. He looks at Werewolf to see if she is looking and then tugs at his locked draw again, not that anything valuable is in there. What if there is something valuable in there that doesn’t exist?
Nige: Screaming, have you seen the coat I didn’t bring?
Screaming: No, I haven’t seen it you didn’t have one.
Nige feels reassures but feels something bad will happen if Screaming doesn’t repeat it.
Nige: So I didn’t bring a coat then, must be in my car!
Screaming: No you didn’t have a coat.
Nige feels that if he doesn’t repeat it again he may drop something from 4 ft away into the bin.
Nige: I wonder where my coat is! He says knowing he hasn’t got one but starting to doubt it.
Nige still doesn’t feel comfortable but has to leave it as by this time Jules is waiting outside and has been for 20 minutes. Nige checks around him again and leaves the office, signs out and then comes back in to check again pretending to get some paperwork that is actually blank paper.
As Nige and Jules drive home Nige receives a call but he can’t take his mobile out of his pocket in case he drops something. He finally gives in and answers. It’s Cherry from DCO (OCD backwards) Reel Acting Agents.
Cherry: Hey Nige you want to do come featured extras work tomorrow night; it’s not paid but it’s a good chance to meet you and set you back on the right track to get you acting.
Nige: Yeah that would be cool.
Cherry: We do need to of your mates as well as two people have dropped out.
Nige: Ok, we’ll be there.
Nige has a feeling that if he Cherry doesn’t repeat dropped out something will be dropped.
Nige: What did you say?
Cherry: Two people dropped out.
Nige still feels uncomfortable book refuses to ask again. He agrees and hangs up.
Nige: Hey Jules, you won’t believe this; we are doing some featured extra work tomorrow.
Jules: Oh cool! Will we be late ‘cos I will need to make something up to tell the folks, I was supposed to be seeing them later?
Nige feels something bad will happen if he encourages Jules.
Nige: Jules you don’t have to do it, I’m not encouraging you or anything, there may be a next time!
Jules: No it’s ok it’s my decision I know you’re not encouraging me.
The next day after a hectic journey of checking and being stuck in circles Nige and Jules reach the shoot and are just finishing up.
Director: And cut.
Lead actress: Your mate is walking like a robot.
Nige: That’s his normal walk.
Lead actress: Really! Can’t you point him in the right direction?
Nige, recently noticed this quirk and put’s it down to Jule’s OCD tendencies to do with paranoir and cracks in the floor.
Shoot over.
Nige: Jule’s did you realise you was walking like a robot?
Jules: What do you mean?
Nige realises he may have hit a nerve.
Nige: Maybe we could brand you as the Bollywood Badger!
