I believe the answer is:

bolt

(Other definitions for bolt that I've seen before include "Find a bar" , "Short arrow for a crossbow" , "From the blue, it's a great surprise" , "Lock - run away - gobble - lightning flash - cloth roll" , "Fastening pin; run away" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The New York Times and the Universal.
