Was DMonroe murdered mid-sentence?  "The Chums'" WHAT?

Sheep are most characteristic for being docile, tasty, and thus
perfect victims, more that than perfect servants.  After the Chicago
slaughterhouse references, it should become clear that the Chums are
not immune from any fate if the sheep characterization stands valid.
