Should it be 'is' or 'gets'?
Hi. Here's a part of a script I'm writing...
Men's restroom - 5th floor
A bank robber waits outside a stall. Nick comes out of the stall and washes his hands.
Hallway - 7th floor
Jerry is moving down the hallway when an elevator arrives with a ding. Two bank robbers step off it and see Jerry. They raise their machine guns and --
Hallway - 5th floor
Nick is/gets escorted out of the restroom as gunfire erupts upstairs.
Two questions about the last sentence:
1) Should it be 'is' or 'gets'?
2) Is the sentence phrased correctly so that it doesn't sound like he is escorted out of the restroom because the gunfire erupts - it just happens at the same time?
