Mark Trail: I doubt that they wanted to kill him...he wouldn't be any good to them dead!

I'm sure he's right, because the outcomes in Lost Forest are just ever so slightly rigged in his favor, but I'm curious as to how Mark can be so certain that the shooter didn't want to kill CEO lady's brother. Wouldn't killing the doofus prevent him from telling anybody about the details of their illegal activities?

As to Mark's claim that "the shooter could very easily have killed him if he wanted to," this seems unlikely and overly modest. After all, Mark was standing right there. The shooter may have managed to get one shot by him, but there was no way he was going to get another one off without Mark catching the bullet in his hand and throwing it back at the shooter with such force and accuracy that the shooter would stand no chance of surviving.
