got out of Dodge (4)
I believe the answer is:
fled
'got out of dodge' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for fled that I've seen before include "Left the field" , "Ran off in a hurry" , "Did a runner" , "Female showed the way and escaped" , "Ran or hurried away" .)
