By messing with that plan Fate intervened by creating a storm to bring some sort of balance , or to just to wipe everything away to make a clean slate or whatever . In this case fate decreed that Jefferson was suppose to get caught and that Chloe had to die in the bathroom in order to bring about the series of events that lead to Jefferson ' s arrest . Why ? Max has clearly shown there ' s a way to get Mr . Jefferson arrested while still keeping Chloe alive . At this point , ' fate ' sounds like a petty Dungeon Master unwilling to let others mess with their perfectly good story . Also , why would the police just laugh a tip off ? I thought the reason false reports are illegal is because the Police have to investigate them .
