You turn to your friend and say "Lets do it!" and the two of you run faster than you have ever ran before to reach the backstage area. As you are running, a security guard notices you out of the corner of his eye. He quickly calls his other security guards and they chase after you. You are now in the backstage area, and you can hear the guards footsteps coming closer. You and your friend have to think fast!

You look to all the possible places you can run and hide. You can either go through a door that is near, which you have no idea where it leads, and it could possibly lead to a room of security guards, or you can take the route straight ahead, which is a hallway that you have no idea where it leads to.
Which path do you take?
