Got the heck out of Dodge (4)
I believe the answer is:
fled
'got the heck 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 "Having run or hurried away" , "Ran or hurried away" , "Left the field" , "Did a runner" , "Female showed the way and escaped" .)
