Déjala

Déjala
 
Hi,

—¡Déjala, Parva! —ordenó—. ¡Chüd! ¡Chüd!
¿Déjala? —pensó Ben, estúpidamente—.
¿Habla como si fuera hembra?

“Let’s get her, Haystack!” Richie screamed. “Chüd! Chüd!”
Her? Ben thought stupidly. Her, did he say?

In my book, déjala means let her, or, perhaps, leave her alone. Can it really assume get her?

"Dejar" has many meanings; depending on the context, it might be "allow someone to do something", "leave someone/something alone", "abandon someone/something"... and a few others, but none of these fitting in the original English sentence. I guess the translator just got distracted.

Tyrn, if you want to add a couple more sentences before this for context, that would help as well.
