Where you headed?
"Where are you from?"
"California, but it's for a change."
"Where you headed?"
"Out of the country, actually."
["Trump of Doom" of The Great Book of Amber by Roger Zelazny]
I'd like to know if the underlined sentence is the abbreviation of "Where are you going to be headed?".
Thank you in advance for your help.

No, but it's an abbreviation for "Where are you headed?"
According to the version I'm looking at, the second sentence should read "California, but it's time for a change."

On second thought I should add that in questions with "you", it is not uncommon to drop 'are' when the context is very informal.
Where you going?
