I did bold it in the passage, incase you missed it. This has probably been fixed though, if I'm reading an old draft.

Not sure exaclty what you're saying or what version you're quoting from.
Marshall leaps out of the water and "surprises" Tobias, because Toby thought he was already dead from the electrical shock, thus "missing" on his shot at Cyndi. Then, Toby takes Marshall out, while Cyndi makes a break for outside.
Okay bro, I'll elaborate. You've probably tweaked the passage anywho, but lets look at it again...
Quoted Text
Marshall leaps out of the water, a few feet away. A thunderous BANG. The shot goes high, missing her completely.
Cyndi gets to her feet, makes a break for the door leading outside, only several feet in front of her.
Tobias quickly rights himself, aims down at Marshall in the water. Another cavernous BLAST. Pellets riddle the water as well as the top of his head. The pool water turns deep red as Marshall sinks out of sight
When you say Marshall leaps OUT of the water, that implies to me that he is no longer IN the water.
Then you say Tobias aims down at Marshall IN the water.
You might want to narrow down that description because it's vague. Perhaps you'd be better writing something along the lines of "Marshall surfaces", or "Marshall breaks the surface of the water", that would be more apt for what you're going for.
That's a better description, because it accurately describes what's happening down to a tee. Perhaps add "Marshall surfaces, gasping for air" for some dramatic effect.
Holla back.
EDIT:
Btw, I won't post anymore comments until I get the latest draft. I want to see how you've worked in the new scene headers for the plane ect.
And PM me about the situation with the script, what offers you've had, and tell me a bit more about this Chernobyl re-write.
Damn, I feel like a right asshole for pointing that out.

He continues past the Horny Toad, as the music fades away. A snow flake passes, heads down the sidewalk, back towards the bar. The wind whips it around, past various faces and conversations...closer to the bar.
Thanks, Max. Those are great catches. I'll go back in and make sure all snowflakes are 1 word, the way they should be. Maybe I was high when I wrote it...LOL!!!
Right on, Max. Obviously, I don't know you, but I tend to trust SS folks who seem to be here for the right reasons.
I've ben meaning to upload the latest, but thanks to you, the latest is now free of the "snow flakes".
The snow flake thing is a dickhead thing, nobody cares about that anyway. I only mentioned it because I thought you might care about it, and it ultimately depends on whether you're a perfectionist or not.
It doesn't diminish anything really, but of course I'll point it out.

NO!!! It's not a dickhead thing at all. And, yeah, I'm a total perfectionist. I'm shocked I never saw that.
Dude, I totally appreciate shit like that. TOTALLY!!!!!
