Spy that could go either way (4)
I believe the answer is:
peep
I believe this is a double definition.
'spy' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'that could go either way' is the second definition.
(Other definitions for peep that I've seen before include "Sly look (palindrome)" , "Furtive look" , "Chirp" , "Large underground chamber" , "Look quickly" .)
