FBI agent hollers for Spooner and associates (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bedfellows

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'fbi agent hollers for spooner' is the first definition.
(Fed Bellows as a spoonerism)

'associates' is the second definition.
(bedfellow is a kind of associate)

'and' acts as a link.

(Another definition for bedfellows that I've seen is " colleagues".)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
