After several blocks of running, Kyle __10__ his pace. Then he stopped. He stood still and watched me __11__. I had no idea what I was going to say or do but I kept walking closer.
The school principal and an officer got out of a police car. They spoke __12__ to Kyle, who willingly climbed into the back of the vehicle. I couldn’t hear what was said, but I didn’t take my eyes off Kyle’s face, even as they __13__．

[长难句分析]　I couldn’t hear what was said, but I didn’t take my eyes off Kyle’s face, even as they drove away. (倒数第三段最后一句)
分析：这是一个并列复合句。并列连词but连接两个分句：第一个分句中what引导的是宾语从句，做动词hear的宾语；第二个分句含有as引导的时间状语从句。
译文：我听不见说了什么，但是我没有把目光从Kyle的脸上移开，甚至在他们开车离开时。
