Crossword Genius

Shut up and run! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bolt

I believe this is a double definition.

'shut up' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'run' is the second definition.
(I know that bolt is a more specific form of the action flee)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bolt that I've seen before include "playwright" , "From the blue, it's a great surprise" , "Sprint? Yes he does!" , "Lightning flash, fasten" , "wolf" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
