George asks Candy to delay the men so he can get to Lennie first. Geirge doesn't necessarily say where he's going, and he understands that he's only bringing Lennie in.... or ending it all.

"O.K. Give me a couple minutes then, and you come runnin’ out an’ tell like you jus’ found her. I’m going now." George turned and went quickly out of the barn.
