get-away
Criminal's swift departure
A get-away is an escape, especially from a crime scene: The robbers made their get-away in a stolen car.
It also means a brief vacation or retreat: a romantic weekend get-away.
The hyphenated form emphasizes the noun; the solid form *getaway* is more common in modern usage.
