Zips and runs away (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

darts

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'zips' is the first definition.
(darting is a kind of zipping)

'runs away' is the second definition.
'darts' can be an answer for 'runs'. I'm unsure of the 'away' bit.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for darts that I've seen before include "Shoots" , "Moves along rapidly" , "They are thrown at targets in pubs" , "Game; moves quickly" , "Traditional pub game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
