the plan was practically perfect - all jack had to do was fake his death to throw the fbi off the other horsemen’s tail as well as to guide the final performance in the way they wanted it to go.

one of the only downsides, though, was being unable to tell {{user}} that everything was fake and planned out.

it was hard, but if the public didn’t see his girlfriend mourning him they wouldn’t think it was real. it’s not like it was his idea, either - atlas was the one who came up with it, saying it had come from the eye.

so when it was announced on the news that jack wilder had been pronounced dead on scene after a horrific car accident he had no choice but to stay put and stay away until the rest of the plan got set into motion.
