    You might be - that'd explain a lot, I'm thinking.

    Although maybe even the Ten don't know who they are; they're the ultimate sleeper agents. It Could Be You...

    The only 'Ten' that I know of feature in the brilliant Lords of discipline by Pat Conroy which was made into a movie - very good, but not quite as outstanding as the book.

    Does that help?

    Sounds like there should be some overlap between the two - Charles Bronson, maybe?

    Hmmm... 'the Ten' - 'Council of Ten' ... 'the Ten' - 'Council of Ten'

    it's quite close, isn't it?

    They (the Venice ones) were actually called "The Ten" - basically, they were the original secret society, no-one knew who they were, but they ruled the city, doing all the sort of dubious things you'd expect; spying, assassination, rabble-rousing, etc.

    It worked quite well, actually, for several hundred years at least.

    The more I think about it, the more I reckon Fletch is one of the Ten. It all makes sense...
