I shouted, 'Reveal the retreats!' (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hideouts

'the retreats' is the definition.

'i shouted reveal' is the wordplay.
'reveal' indicates anagramming the letters.
'i'+'shouted'='ishouted'
'ishouted' is an anagram of 'HIDEOUTS'.

(Other definitions for hideouts that I've seen before include "lairs" , "Places to lie low" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
