Translation: help with an unclear taxi mission

I'm reviewing the italian translation for the default taxi missions. I found an ambiguity in the mission 9.
FLAVOUR_WHYSOMUCH_9 is "The Police want me to help them with their enquiries.", which makes me think that he's working with the police, but FLAVOUR_DANGER_9 is "The Police may try to stop you.", that looks like he works against the police.
At the moment, I translated them as they are, but I'd like to make them consistent.

"The Police want me to help them with their enquiries."
This means the police want to bring the person in to be questioned (interrogated). The client wants to avoid this: perhaps he's guilty of some crime, or he's afraid his criminal friends will turn against him for talking to the police. He is trying to escape (with your help!), and the police may try to stop that happening.

Yeah there's a few interesting euphemisms like that in the text :D

I found many of them in the assasinations missions, but I missed this one. I hope that I didn't miss others.

Example mission imagination.
"Fast Ship" Rename to "ENTER GRUPO engineers."
description of the mission, it is required to carry a small group operativpo and instrumentation in Sol system.
can be obtained from 4 cabins for 20 gross tons.
2 cabins for 2 engineers + 2 cabins to accommodate for calibration.
of course it is only a work around by renaming the existing code.
the reward should be rather high because the equipment in this example would be very valuable.
