Part 6 - Familiar faces
"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!
