Investigator Nick Ferguson’s Story We had been tracking a high-profile fugitive for quite some time. He was the head of a local drug organization with direct access to the Juarez cartel in Mexico. He was also responsible for ordering several deaths in the city. I got a call one evening from an informant saying he’d heard that our fugitive was staying in the Arbor Apartments on the east side of town.
