Yeah, that's right! "If you" is implied before "tell anyone". When speaking casually, it can be common to drop words or phrases. These omitted words and phrases are implied by the context and tone of the sentence. Ex: Will let you know the outcome! = I will let you know the outcome! Ex: See anything, report it to me. = If you see anything, report it to me. Ex: Don't know, don't care. I don't know and I don't care.
