Perhaps lead Mike away, with others (2,2)
I believe the answer is:
et al
'with others' is the definition.
(short for 'et alia', Latin for 'and others')
'perhaps lead mike away' is the wordplay.
'perhaps lead' becomes 'metal' (lead is a metal).
'mike' becomes 'M' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'away' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'metal' with 'm' taken out is 'ET AL'.
(Other definitions for et al that I've seen before include "And others (abbrev.)" , "Latin notation meaning and others" , "And the rest, to the old Romans" , "And others (abbr)" , "and everyone else)" .)
