Bled or fled (3)
I believe the answer is:
ran
This clue is a double definition.
'bled' is the first definition.
('run' can be a synonym of 'bleed')
'fled' is the second definition.
(ran away)
(Other definitions for ran that I've seen before include "Managed; operated" , "Sprinted" , "Took a single" , "at speed?" , "Administered" .)
