March 11, 2011, 14:46 Japanese time. David got the news on his phone within minutes, much earlier than the rest of the world. By 06:00 London time, which was just under 15 minutes from when the earthquake struck, David had all his plans for the day cancelled and started making phone calls to the Library.
He was in the Library's inner sanctums (no, it wasn't that sacred, but they'd like to think so wouldn't they?) and in Tokyo in fifteen minutes, and from there it was just hectic chaos until everything that required immediate attention could be sorted out in that critical 24-hour period following the quake.
The 'stint' with Mrs. Saito bent a few rules that ought not to be broken, but he'd managed to get her out of Japan and into London and reunite her with her family. In the end that was all that really mattered to him. There were always repercussions, but. David spent his whole life dealing with repercussions, and it was always easier to deal with them in a one-off situation.
He stopped by Saito's residence upon request later that evening. He thought it was best to leave them be but when Saito called, David always answered.
