The cousins decided that rather than call the police and run the risk of Jack making bail and it all coming back on them, they needed to end it once and for all.

After killing Jack, they wrapped his body up in a rug and put him in the back of a pickup truck. They decided that Mick and Miles would bury his body in a remote part of Wayne National Forest while Caleb stayed home to clean up the blood and pick up the shell casings.
