The context is:
Ты за эту неделю уже много раз спасал нас. И поэтому никаких подозрений, никаких кидков. Ты наш, и точка.
I think никаких подозрений, никаких кидков probably means "no suspicions, no reservations". But I can't find the word кидок anywhere.

: no cons, yes - American definitely, but I'm sure Jack can come up with a suitable UK slang expression if need be

I was not sure, I thought that "con" was mostly American usage.

I think this is a variation on the word 'кинуть,' which has several slang meanings -- to con, to let down, to pull a fast one on smb, etc.
In this context, this is probably how I would translate it.

"Кидок" is a very rare word in Russian, so, IMHO, the English word shouldn't be very widely used too.
it might be put-up Job since "кидалово" is often planned beforehand.

: VERY common slang... if spoken by marginalized elements, as the context suggests, and censorship permits it, "you wouldn't fuck us" or equivalent weaker term

: general idea - yes, you are correct, but it is street slang and should sound like it was spoken by a "gangsta", not an MP ;-)
