Daniel had been following Ryan Cooper for years, keeping track of him, he suddenly became much more valuable since he had felt the blast of power from Demetrius, and soon after he had heard his master's words in his head that he was to open the bridge with Ryan. He was concerned about Demetrius' sudden sharp gain in power, when Jasrahel possessed Ryan and made him into a demon. Demetrius would wish that he had never betrayed the master.

It had been a very strange day, Demetrius wasn't acting at all like himself. He never cut out on a meeting, he was always prepared, part of what made him a great CEO. Then he didn't come out of his office for hours, he had a strange flushed look and was far more relaxed then he had seen him before. Then just before, he could feel his tension it just radiated from him and he couldn't sit still. He had to find out what had happened, something was going on with his friend.
He would talk to him when they dealt with Daniel Clarke their supposed inside trader, they had to find out how long he had been selling secrets before they fired him and also to see if he had been stealing any money from them. He hoped he had been, then they could get him arrested, he never really trusted him. He had always gotten bad vibes from him, like spiders crawling up his neck. Just like now he thought as that sharp prickling sensation marched up his neck to the back of his head.
Ryan turned on his seat and looked around and saw Daniel Clarke heading right for him. He mentally braced himself for a confrontation, he had to be on his guard, he didn't know why he would be approaching him, especially now when he was under heavy suspicion.
"Mr. Cooper a word? There is something quite vital we need to discuss."
Tension tightened up his body as he spoke, "Make it quick, I was going to head out soon."
Daniel smiled as if he sensed his tension, "It won't take long trust me, this is about our most trusted boss."
Ryan looked at him suspicious, why would he want to talk about Demetrius? "Go on, what about him?"
"Have you noticed his irrational behaviour? That woman he was with, she's a snake in the grass. A viper waiting to sink her fangs in, she's here to help our boss with his transition. My investor called to inform me of the deal he heard being struck. Demetrius is going to run a new company as shown by these records he's transferring stock to Aries Enterprises. He's going to be taking a bulk of the investments with him. That witch is here to help facilitate the transfers, oh and they're having an affair."
Ryan looked down at the reports, trust was an issue and this fraud didn't have his trust, Demetrius did. But the reports painted a pretty convincing argument, but paper can lie it can only tell what has been placed upon it. "How do you know they're having an affair?" Katherine appeared to be a straight forward woman and to the point. He could like her if she didn't turn out to be the viper Daniel claimed her to be. It still didn't explain the movements that Daniel had been making, but if these reports were true it could be possible that what he had seen earlier had been faked.
