"You girls, wait over there!" said the butcher from before, apparently not surprised to see Trine and Christina again. They were shown over to a small group of girls who had already been graded like them, while their mothers waited in line for the tagging. Another man came over and tied their wrists together behind their backs, like before.

"This is it, then.!" smiled Christina and looked at Trine. Her friend just smiled back. Just then, a door opened behind the girls and a guard from the Mall came in pushing a large cart in front of him. The naked bodies of five girls were piled up on it. They were all beheaded, and the five heads were carelessly thrown in another pile by their feet.

"What the f. that's Ellen!" yelled Trine and nodded at Laura's older sister's head lying on top of the others. She had a frozen expression of bewilderment on her face and her eyes stared emptily up into the ceiling.

"Excuse me, sir, where do these bodies come from?" asked Christina as the man rolled his gruesome load past them.

"Oh, they're today's shoplifters!" smiled the guard and had a good look at Christina's body "We pool them in the basement as we catch them and behead them in the afternoon in the guillotine on the main Mall Square. The management expects that it will reduce shoplifting dramatically in a short time, and the stores are compensated by selling their meat here afterwards."

"But. she had enough money to buy that dress after the job at.!" whispered Trine and looked confused up at the man "Do you know what the girl whose head is on the top stole?"

"A friend of yours?" laughed the guard and held up Ellen's head by her blond hair. Small droplets of fresh red blood was still dripping from her severed neck, splashing onto the cheek of one of the other decapitated heads "Actually, you'd have to identify her body so I can check my records with her number!"

"That would be this one . second from top!" said Christina quickly, nodding towards the cart. She could easily spot Ellen's slim body between the others. The guard sighed but bent down to check a number written on her tight. Then he leafed through a clipboard and dryly announced: "Ellen Oldham, she nicked TWO dresses from Tiffany's two hours ago! . hey, wait, this is a bit funny, I can see that her sister, Laura Oldham was caught just half an hour ago trying to walk away with two filled shopping bags . apparently the receipts proved that she didn't buy the goods and she couldn't immediately point out who they belonged to!"

"B.but they are OUR clothes!" protested Trine, wanting to grab the clipboard from the guard to check that he was telling the truth. All she could do was fist her tied hands behind her back. "Yeah, we ASKED her to take them, because we had to. you know, become meat!" explained Christina, looking pleadingly at the guard.

"I see, well, I'm afraid it is a little too late now!" he chuckled "They auctioned off the girls minutes ago and Kay's Steakhouse bought the whole lot of five! They really needed the meat for their live roasting spits . you won't believe how popular they have become today!"

"Maybe if you hurry and.!" started Trine, but the guard just shook his head and mumbled something about how busy he was today. Then he pushed Ellen and the other dead girls onwards, leaving Trine and Christina shocked behind.

"Hm, I guess this shopping trip has been the last one for all of us, then!" sighed Christina. Trine just nodded and shrugged her shoulders. She absentmindedly looked down on her left breast which Carl the butcher had marked with a big R and a number code. The same code was written just above her shaved cunt. For some odd reason, Trine hoped her meat would turn out to be delicious . even if she would never know!
