Heist of Fort Knox

You go left and you walk straight for a while and for a little bit. You just follow the maze. You mess up a couple of times, but it is alright because you just end up back at the beginning. You remember the correct path that you have to take and just follow it through. An hour later, you finish the maze. There is a sign that reads "bonus labor!", and you think that you are done. You walk through a set of doors and to your surprise, there is another maze. You start walking through it, thinking that it is going to be like the last one. You walk for a little bit, and you have made multiple turns and you have not ended up back at the beginning. You think that this maze doesn't have any loops or anything. You think to yourself that this is going to be a hard challenge to over come, but you do know a trick to help you escape. This trick is to put your hand on a wall and just follow the wall. It may take you a long time to escape, but you still escape. You use this method for around two hours, and you hear a noise. You hear a person's footsteps. You want to know who it is, but you do not want to risk your life. Do you approach them, or do you keep your distance.
