Headed out now
Going is the present participle of go, but it functions independently in many contexts.
As an adjective, it describes current rates or conditions: the going price, a going concern.
Get out while the going is good means leave before conditions worsen.
Goings-on are activities or events, often suspicious ones.
Going on followed by a number means approaching that age: She's going on sixteen.
