Chabat District is located in the Gulf of Mexico about 100 miles southeast of Panama. The Chabat District is a lush, mountainous island, covered with fragrant flowering magnolia trees and rare tropical wildlife. Bordered by stunning beaches, and dotted with many colorful small villages and towns, the nation of Chabat is a major source of spices, sugar, cigars, and cocoa. This small nation consists of three islands: Romero District, San Montaine District, and Chabat District. Chabat District is the largest of the three, with a width of thirty-two miles and a length of sixty-one miles. A few farms in the district were either owned or controlled by the cartel. They grew the coca plants and processed it into cocaine. The remainder of the farms provided produce sold at the local markets.

"The Micas Clans" was a notorious alliance of the major kingpins of the lucrative illegal drug trade. They maintained the largest and most powerful drug cartel in this hemisphere. "The Micas Clans" had control of or were in charge of an estimated $142 billion a year business in cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and other illicit drugs. Consequently, the Micas Clans cartel controlled most of the drug transit corridors as well as most of the island of Chabat District. The powerful and feared cartel had controlled Chabat for 36 years. The resourceful organization's cocaine and heroin was shipped to the USA by small planes by way of Colombia or Mexico. They usually loaded marijuana shipments onto fishing boats, private yachts, or commercial ships coming into the United States.

Cárdenas Carrillo attended the public schools of Chabat. During the reign of President Manuel St. George, it was mandated by the nation that every child attended a state-sponsored school until the age of sixteen. At San Paulo Training Academy, Carrillo excelled at the coursework and graduated third in a class of forty-five. However, the streets of San Paulo, offer Carrillo a different type of education.

He would often run the streets with his cousins Carlos and Manuel. However, Carrillo soon found that working for the different cartels were more profitable. He ran drugs for many minor dealers and cartels until he was fourteen. Most of those years he worked as a carrier. He would pick up a package at one location. Later, he would drop the package at another location and return with the money.

As the tourist industry grew, more organized cartels took over the drug trade in San Paulo. The Micas Clans recruited Carrillo at fourteen and he quickly rose through the ranks. Because of his intelligence and skill with words, he became a major player in the operation of the vast drug smuggling industry. Cárdenas Carrillo left high school at sixteen years of age. Twenty-five years later, he had graduated into a career as head of the Micas Clans.

Cárdenas Carrillo had taken over the operations of the Micas Clans cartel, and was getting the bulk of the money. Carrillo lived about seven miles outside of the village of Juan. The target was scheduled to attend a birthday party at his residence. The ranger should be able to spot him there.

Jamal understood the difficulty in accomplishing this mission. This mission would require some covert surveillance and a lot of waiting and he had came prepared for the task. He camouflaged himself with the Moss cover, covered his face with mud, and rechecked the picture inside the folder. He checked over the information on Carrillo with great care, making sure not to miss any details. Jamal looked at another picture and continued to read the mission report.

After the mission was accomplished, he was to proceed to Juan. Jamal was instructed to report to the police chief, Jesus Garcia. Chief Garcia, an undercover operative for the DEA for over fourteen years, was educated at UCLA Berkeley. In 1993, he moved back to his family farm on Chabat. Jesus was quickly elected the police chief after the former police chief was murdered by the cartel. He would provide the ranger with a safe escape from the island.

The cartel's camp was a little over five miles from Jamal's current location. He destroyed the report after reading it and stored the pictures in his backpack. The ranger stood up, slung his Springfield .30-06 sniper rife on his shoulder, and disappeared into the dense dark rain forest. The rain forest was alive with various foliage and tropical wildlife. The ranger was very careful to cover his tracks. Jamal walked through the thick brush for about three miles. As he emerged from the rain forest, he looked down upon the fertile farms of the Juan Valley. It was now about 0600 and the night sky was giving away to the daylight. Jamal decided to take cover for the day and hiked back to the cover of the rain forest. The ranger will wait for nightfall to make his kill.
