Fugitives (8)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
runaways
'fugitives' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for runaways that I've seen before include "absconders" , "Fugitives" , "Easy victories for those who flee" , "flyers" .)
