Different meanings of law

Nicholai's POV

After that conversation I had with Kyle, I went home and start fixing my things. As everyone experiences, Mondays always come fast but weekends come very slow. I stored my police uniform in protective sleeves and put it safely inside my closet, I don't want to have any taints in it. I sat on the bed for a while and think about the favor he is asking from me. I can do it, the investigation he wants me to conduct but I have no permission from mom, I mean the police leader. Should I directly say it to her or not? *sigh* but I think I should let her know about it. 

*Phone calls*

"Mom." I said after she answered it.

"Is there something wrong?" she asked immediately.

"Can I conduct an individual investigation?" I carefully said it to her. 

"What do you mean?" she confusedly asked.

"You see I have a classmate and he need to protect his friend who's in an ongoing trial." I explained.
