John takes a gun. Immediately, David and Adan skedaddle.

John takes a gun. Immediately, David and Adan skedaddle from that place.

I never used this word before. I want to keep the sentence short as the second one, but I’m not sure whether that sentence is valid.

Answer

Your second sentence is fine. In fact I’d say it’s the best of the three. It’s implicit that they’re from their current location.

However I’d consider carefully whether you actually want to use the word. It’s very informal, bordering on slang, and is rarely used in written English.
