Well, as you felt the most certain death of all if you tried to head outside, likely not.
Yes, I've been a bit vague with descriptions.
You are basically halfway down an exit corridor. Opposite to the exit, it meets at the middle of another corridor, forming a t-junction. Big Gun etc. are in that other corridor (originally they were around the corner of THAT corridor to the far side of you when you came, so you didn't see them. Now they have backed up towards the exit, they are in that corridor)
