hiding place
Where fugitives go
A hiding place is a location where something or someone can be concealed from view or discovery.
Children seek hiding places during games of hide-and-seek; fugitives need them for survival.
The term extends to any spot where valuables or secrets are kept safe: She kept emergency cash in a hiding place behind the bookshelf.
