Charge for the damage? (4)
I believe the answer is:
tear
This clue is a double definition.
'charge' is the first definition.
('tear' can be a synonym of 'charge')
'the damage?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for tear that I've seen before include "Rip apart; drop" , "Hurry" , "A globule of eye moisture" , "wrench" , "Rip, sever roughly" .)
