The explosion not only instantly disintegrated Porter Webb's torso, but it also tore into Harrison Kershaw, the shrapnel made up of ball bearings and roofing nails totally shredded him. He never had the chance to feel the pain.
The explosion blew out the windows and ripped through Kershaw's office and his secretary's area. She was the young lady that escorted Porter to Kershaw's office. It was fortunate for her that after she brought Porter to the office, she stepped away to get her and Kershaw coffee. So that when the explosion occurred, she was two rooms away. As it was, she suffered serious, but not life-threatening injuries.
The other staff at their desks in the open office area immediately outside the Director/Assistant Director's office suite also suffered significant injuries, including death as the walls and windows adjacent to Kershaw's office were also blown out.
The first responders had to move a large pile of debris out of the way to get into the area. They also had to deal with water from the fire sprinklers raining down on them. The explosion either activated the actual sprinkler heads or ruptured the pipes in the ceiling and walls. As a result, they could not connect their fire hoses to the standpipe connections, as those pipes were combined with the sprinkler systems.

News of the explosion spread almost immediately as ZNN flashed the Breaking News on their channel. As they had just come out of the daily staff call, Harm and AJ were walking through the bullpen, speaking about how Harm's house-hunting efforts were going.
"I'm looking inside the beltway. Carolyn Imes is helping me. Though when we do find a place, Mattie will move in with me and Carolyn will lose her roommate. She and Mattie are getting along like a house on fire. We have dinners together every night either at my loft or Carolyn's apartment. The two of them can talk up a storm. It's mostly girly stuff, in which I don't even bother to participate. I just enjoy listening to them."
"Anything going on with you and Cmdr. Imes that I need to know about Harm?" AJ asked, kindly.
"Uhm, no sir, at least nothing official. I mean we are enjoying each other's company as we care for Mattie. We have dinner together every night with Mattie. Maybe something is there, but we haven't spoken about it or even acknowledged it."
"Well let me give you some advice son, when you two finally see in yourselves what everyone else in the office sees and you acknowledge it, hold on to it. Don't worry about the 'frat regs'. You're both the same rank and not in the same department or each other's boss. I'll work something out with your billets so that…."
Harm was consternated about what made AJ stop speaking until he followed where he was looking. He then saw on the TVs mounted on the walls throughout the bullpen the ZNN Breaking News banner saying, "Explosion at CIA Headquarters".
"Oh, my God!" Harm whispered, afraid to say out loud what he was thinking.
Let's get to my office and try to find out what the hell happened," AJ ordered as he turned to his office with Harm in his wake.
They failed to notice that Sarah Mackenzie was standing at her office door looking at the TVs with a small grin on her face. As she turned toward her desk, she said under her breath, "Allah Akbar."

After the CIA bombing, things at JAG Headquarters calmed down enough, but not enough that everyone felt okay about proceeding with the Annual July 4th Picnic. It would have been convenient for everyone as the 4th was on a Sunday. So, everyone decided to go their own ways to celebrate the holiday. Harm decided to take Mattie and Carolyn to Belleville to visit Grams. Harm's parents Patricia "Trish" and Frank would also be up at the farm. Harm had plans to introduce Carolyn as his significant other to his folks.
Seeing that Harm inadvertently put himself out of the eligible bachelor column, Gale and Sarah set their efforts to implement the plan to turn Harriet Simms Roberts.
Fortunately for their plans, Harriet suggested to Bud that he takes AJ and Jimmy along with Big Bud and Mikey, to Disney World as a boys-only weekend. What everyone, but Bud, failed to see was that Harriet was still going through some post-partum depression, even though it was eight months after the birth of her second son Jimmy. While she loved her second son dearly, she was hoping for a girl that she could dote on. She was still suffering the grief of losing her daughter Sarah at birth.
That Friday afternoon, after Harriet saw Bud and the boys off at Reagan Airport, she set off to JAG Headquarters to meet Mac. After her long absence, Harriet had of course jumped at the chance to catch up with her favorite USMC colonel. Tonight, they were going out on a girly night without the boys. Mac had also suggested introducing Catherine Gale to Harriet. Catherine's mother had passed away the weekend before. She wanted Harriet to help Catherine get over her mourning. Catherine also explained "We don't have many parties at the CIA. So, I didn't get a lot of support from my colleagues."
Sarah saw Harriet breeze into the bullpen and right to her office.
"Hello, Colonel. Ready for our girls' night out?"
"Yes, Harriet. Did the boys get off okay?"
"Yes, I just came straight here from the airport to meet you. Headquarters is on my way to the house. Bud and the boys will have fun. He promised to save the picture of them all wearing Mickey ears for our mantle shelf. They're scheduled to be at Disneyworld for the weekend and then visit my folks for the rest of the week. They'll be back next Saturday, the tenth. I'm taking the whole week off and just veg out at home, without the babies to take care of."
"Good for you Harriet. That'll give you a week to relax," Sarah said but had another thought entirely.
As they reached the parking lot, Sarah suggested, "Follow me to my apartment and we'll go in your car. We're going to pick up Catherine and my car's a two-seater. Besides, since we're going out, I want to change out my uniform."
"Sounds good Mac. Lead on."
They drove to Sarah's apartment, and they went up to Mac's apartment. From there they set off to pick up Catherine at her Alexandria apartment. Then they set off to the restaurant.
The three women enjoyed their dinner with good conversation and much liquor at least on Harriet's part. Sarah as the lone non-alcohol drinker encouraged, "Harriet, let yourself go. You don't have to be home to care for anyone tonight. I'll be the designated driver. We'll get your home or you can sleep at my place."
So, Harriet indulged herself. As a result, she became very tipsy and somewhat compliant. As Sarah showed a couple of postcards to Harriet, detailing the cover story of where she had been "recovering" during her treatment, Harriet leaned forward in her drunken state. This presented Catherine with the perfect opportunity to tip a small vial of clear liquid into Harriet's wine. From the moment she took a sip, Harriet's life as a free-thinking, independent-minded Western woman was at an end.
An hour later, Sarah and Catherine led an extremely tipsy Harriet to Harriet's car. Catherine got in and sat alongside Harriet in the back seat as Sarah drove. Harriet passed out within a few minutes, so Gale supported her on the journey to the farm.
Upon arrival, Sadik's assistants Rafik, Khalid, and McCool were ready with a wheelchair. They would put her in "the chair" right away.
Harriet surfaced slightly as she felt Sarah unbuttoning her dress. She protested feebly as Catherine reached down and slid off her engagement ring and wedding band - items of jewelry that had been resident on Harriet's hand for many years. All three women were now ring-less, as Sarah knelt to unbutton the front of Harriet's comfortable mom-supporting bra.
"But Colonel, I don't swing that way - and you're not my type", Harriet murmured.
"Oh Harriet, you have no choice. By the end of the weekend, you will swing whichever way our Master desires."
After she completed stripping Harriet, Sarah's soulless eyes looked dispassionately as Dr. McCool plunged another syringe into the neck of the formerly bubbly and happy blond USN lieutenant. The drug was an extra strong dose of scopolamine. That would make Harriet more susceptible to accepting the teaching and visions that the program would show.
Like Sarah's initial session, there would be pain involved. Besides the vibrators in her vagina and rectum, they also connected the alligator clips to her nipples and clitoris. Images that she used to find pleasurable, like those of her parents, husband, children, and American symbols, would accompany electric shocks to her, strong enough to make her jerk and wail in pain. While images of Islamic life and harem life would bring her pleasure as the vibrators brought her to multiple orgasms.
Harriet's already substantial libido would be greatly stimulated. The drug regimen along with the subjugation programming process would crack her wide open to receive the programming instructions and demolish her psychic walls of resistance. As a result, the corruption and assimilation of Harriet Beaumont Simms Roberts would become irreversible. Sadik was about to gain his most devastatingly capable new Soldier - an archetypal "soccer mom" with access to the very heart of his hated JAG opponent.
Like Sarah, she would be kept naked, bound, gagged, and blindfolded in between sessions. Harriet would suffer multiple 12-hour-long programming sessions in the chair throughout the weekend from Saturday morning into Monday morning. In the 2 hours between each session, McCool and Khalid would administer LSD, peyote, and scopolamine to ensure that her psyche would be open to the subjugation program
As Soldier Sarah and Soldier Catherine were strapping Harriet into the chair for her second programming session, her slowly vanishing personality briefly surfaced. As they separated her thighs to insert the vibrators, she was able to murmur, "So, are you going to fuck me into obedience?"
Soldier Catherine lifted one of the earphones out, placed her lips right up to Harriet's unresisting ear, and whispered, "Obedience is pleasure". Then Catherine pushed a ball gag between Harriet's teeth and buckled it behind her neck to the last notch.
The earlier programming and the drug regimen did the rest. As Khalid started the program, Harriet's response was instant. She writhed with pleasure in her restraints as the orgasm hit her, eliminated her remaining free will, and confirmed her conversion to "the cause". The ensuing programming sessions cemented into her subconscious the instructions and trigger phrases she was to follow.
The next working day was Tuesday. Her last programming session in the chair ended late Monday afternoon. Soldier Sarah and Soldier Catherine got a totally dazed and unresponsive Harriet dressed for her return to her home. They loaded her into the back seat of her car. Harriet just sat there staring straight ahead, oblivious to what was going on around her.
They arrived at the Roberts's house late Monday evening. Early the next morning as Soldier Harriet stood compliantly, Sarah and Catherine set her up for her mission at JAG Headquarters. They installed Bluetooth earphones so that when she wore them, they were out of sight under her regulation hairdo. She would hear the trigger phrases from them. Then they got the corset out and laced it on her. In a very cruel act of Sadik, the corset also had a matching thong that held two probes inside her. They contained the same deadly material that was laced throughout the corset. Then Soldier Sarah and Soldier Catherine finished dressing Soldier Harriet, ensuring that her summer white uniform was perfectly adjusted to hide the deadly cargo laced around and in her body beneath her uniform.
Then they turned Soldier Harriet out to her deadly mission.

The first workday after the July 4th Holiday at JAG was in full swing. Harm had been sent to Norfolk for an investigation. Mac was at the Navy Yard Brig to interview her latest client. Carolyn Imes was crossing the foyer outside the Bullpen going to the elevators. She was thinking of the beautiful weekend she spent with Harm, Mattie, and Harm's folks at Gram's farm. She and Harm finally acknowledged what everyone else at headquarters saw; that they were in love with each other. Frank, Trish, and Gram were overjoyed as they welcomed her into the family. Harm hadn't proposed, but he did promise more surprises to come.
As she approached the elevator, she saw it open and Harriet Simms walk out. Carolyn paused a second and attempted to stop and chat, but Harriet just continued to walk by her into the bullpen without a word. Carolyn was taken back a bit at Harriet's rude behavior, but seeing as she had to run to interview appointments at another LSO, she resumed walking toward the elevator. As she got into the next car, she pressed the button for the Lobby and turned to lean on the back wall. Just before the door closed, she caught a glimpse of Harriet as she walked through the double doors to the Bullpen. She wondered why Harriet was wearing non-regulation heels. She didn't think of it any further as the car started going down.
As Harriet walked into the Bullpen, she passed a rather handsome Navy lieutenant.
Gregory Vukovic was on his first day at Headquarters. He felt that he paid his dues and he was on his way up the career ladder. He slowed his walk to his office as he saw Harriet. He also saw that she was not wearing any rings on her left hand. That turned on his "Romeo" gene as he elevatored his eyes up and down her voluptuous figure.
'Hmm, she's plump in all the right places. And those legs in her sky-high heels. I'd like to have them wrapped around me as I fuck her senseless."
That's all he had time to think as he saw Harriet stop in the middle of the Bullpen and stood still. She reached into her purse and pulled out an object. She held it up and shouted, "Allah Akbar!" Then the Bullpen erupted in explosion and flames.
