A/N: Hey Guys! Sorry for the late update, I actually already had it ready but sometimes I just can't get them up soon... Anyways, here is the next part. Here you get to meet the Smythes. I'm sorry it's taking so long for Seblaine to meet, but I promise...Soon :D

Disclaimer: I do not own Glee, or their characters. I do, however, own the OCs like Seb's siblings and Blaine's sister :D


Previously in Smooth Criminals: As soon as they were ready, the four of them made their way out of the condo. After making sure the place was just like they found it, they made their way outside while avoiding drawing attention to themselves.

[BREAK]

Edward Smythe watched the small group, walking inconspicuously towards a van, from the windows in the condo above the one they had just left. Not too long after, the van raced out of sight. He put his drink down and walked towards the door, but not before kicking the couch his younger brother was currently lounging in. He made his way towards the elevator knowing that the others would follow. He was soon joined by his siblings and the rest of his little family of thieves. No one said a word, even though his siblings seemed to be biting back an insult at the smug look on his face. The elevator doors beeped and the doors opened and the – still quiet – team made their way into the apartment the Andersons had just left. His sister Victoria turned the lights on, and he watched as Santana slipped into the bedroom to wake Nick and Jeff – or Niff as he secretly liked to call them – and have them join them in the spacious living room. He rolled his eyes as he saw Sebastian jumping into the couch an adopting the place he had just left downstairs.

"Would you at least attempt to seem interested in this?" he allowed disapproval color his tone. His brother smirked back at him.

"I can't. I don't even know why we are doing this. They are harmless." To Edward's annoyance their sister seemed to agree with the younger Smythe.

"Bas is right Ed. I don't see why you are so interested in them. We've crossed jobs with them once, and if I remember correctly you got to that Van Gogh before the Andersons did," he opened his mouth to reply when Santana came back an amused smile on her face and a pair of half asleep men on each arm.

"Seems like that drug made quiet the number on our Niff here," Santana pushed the two boys into the large circular couch opposite to Sebastian, they tried to glare at her but in their state all they could manage was a pout and a groan in annoyance. The rest of his team piled in, and got situated around the living room. He pulled himself to his full height and faced his team.

'Team? More like family.'

"Alright guys, as you know that group of burglars, who left our poor Niff in this state, are the Andersons. They are some of the world's best here in the States," he ignored his siblings' scoffs, "and like you know I like to get an insight of all of our competition. Lauren has pulled out all the information we have accumulated and put it into one file for all of you to review," Lauren Zizes passed around portfolios filled with pictures and information. "As you can see they work quite differently than us. They like to take a more…classic approach to their work, while we are more evolved." He saw his sister roll her eyes and waited for her to speak her mind.

"I don't know why we are bothering Ed. We all know that they don't stand a chance against us. We are far cleverer than they are. We are better. I find it a waste of our time to even consider them competition." Edward sighed.

"This is no time for us to get cocky. We have been mostly working in Europe lately so we haven't crossed paths with the Andersons since that last time almost 3 years ago."

"You mean when you got there before the elder Anderson, and practically rubbed it in his face that you go the painting and he didn't?" Sebastian always liked to bring that up when talking about the Andersons. Edward rolled his eyes one more time but a smiled escaped his lips and he saw the same amusement in the rest of the team's faces.

"Yeah, that time."

"You know that personally I agree with Tori, but I know you enough to know that if we don't let you do this, you will feel inadequate for the next few years. So, I say let's just have a brief discussions and read it up on our own."

"Sounds like a plan." The team spent the next hour learning everything they knew about the Anderson's. As soon as they were done, Sebastian put down his folder and looked at his brother with an annoyed – but at the same time confused – look.

"Edward, please tell me there is a reason behind this. Honestly, my opinion about them remains the same. They are still some group of misfits that just happens to be very lucky. The only thing that's probably changed is the fact that I suddenly wish to meet this Blaine Anderson." Sebastian smirked –that wicked smirk that all three of the Smythe siblings had – and turned to Quinn who had taken a sit next to him. "No, seriously. This kid sounds almost too innocent, and if I had a chance…I'd tap that." He finished his comment with a wink, to which Quinn simply rolled her eyes and laughed at her friend. His brother however, was not amused.

"Actually, there is a reason." The team immediately stopped all the chit-chat and turned to him, giving him their entire attention. "A couple of days ago, I met with Cassandra July. She's one of the headhunters for Sue Sylvester." His siblings instantly shared a look as they heard the name. His sister spoke first.

"You don't mean…"

"Yes, I do mean that Sue Sylvester."

"Well, are you sure about this? I mean you weren't too sure about it a couple of years ago…" Edward sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"Well, this time things are different. But I think I should share all the information with everyone else first." He then turned to the entire room, "as some of you must know, Sue Sylvester is the head of the biggest art theft trade circle in the States. She's also started to expand to Europe and is making a big name for herself. She works with a lot of art thieves – the Andersons included – as well as a lot of different clients. Some of her clients are of course involved in uh… questionable practices, so her employees are paid well, and work anonymously through her. From what I understand, she works only with a certain group of individual herself. This group of people is called headhunters, because they find the clients, as well as thieves that can collect their product. As far as I've led this team, I've always avoided anything that would put you guys in too much danger. I always try to have back-up plans and escape routes ready. So when a position with them was offered to me by them a couple of years back, I politely declined. If anything went wrong, we could have found ourselves in trouble with some really bad people, so at the time it was best to say no.

However, this time it's different. Ms. July sounds…almost desperate about this. It seems like our reputation reached her ears and she wishes to work strictly with us. In the same group of headhunters that Ms. July works in, there is a man called Will Schuester. Schuester is the main connection from Sylvester to the Andersons. Ms. July offers us the same treatment. We deal directly with her; I meet maybe once with Sue Sylvester, and afterwards deal only with Ms. July. She finds the clients, lets us know what they want, we extract it hand it to her, and receive the money from her. We don't ever learn any information on the client and vice-versa. The proposal sounded great, and I would have accepted it right away, but knowing what we are dealing with here, I wanted to see what you guys though." Silence filled the room, and Edward simply poured himself a new drink as we waited for everything to settle in.

Finally a voice rose from one of the corners of the room.

"I think that if you think it's safe…I'm in. From what you've said it's safe, and I have work for you, your brother and sister for a long time now and I've always felt safe. I trust you all." Edward turned to one of his little brother's best friends, Hunter Clarington. Hunter seemed a bit embarrassed to be put on the spotlight, but the look on his face showed that he was serious. One by one the rest of the team agreed with Hunter and soon everyone had agreed to follow him…except his siblings. He turned towards them and looked expectantly. Sebastian met his gaze and raised his eyebrow.

"What?" Their sister Victoria laughed and pushed his shoulder, and soon Edward joined as well. The siblings had always been able to read each other very well. Sebastian shook his head with the Smythe smirk firmly in place. "Can you believe this guy? As if I'll actually let him do this alone and take all the credit!" he scoffed with playful eyes which soon turned mischievous, "plus, who knows? Maybe this will help me meet this Blaine Anderson, and I can't get into those tight pants of his." Edward rolled his eyes and laughed at him.

"Seriously Seb, let's try not to mess with the Andersons. From what Ms. July told me, the Andersons will be our main competition within the ring. They are usually are the ones that get the jobs, but she doesn't trust them for some of the jobs she needs done." He smirked, at the team now that the tension was gone, "she actually called them a 'bunch of misfits who just can't get caught'"

"Ooh, I like her already."

"But if certain jobs cross…we'll just have to show them how it's done" The entire team laughed and soon they were drinking and celebrating their new contract. They stayed awake until the early morning until soon everyone was tired and just lounging around the room, some more awake than others. Then, Lauren Zizes, their Intel Scout, spoke from one of the chairs with a laptop in her hand.

"It seems like the Andersons just took on a new project." Artie spoke from a few chairs away.

"Hmm…what is it?"

"They are after a Gustav Klimt piece called Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I" Soon the room was filled with Sebastian's laughter. Santana kicked him from where she was sitting across from him.

"Why is that so funny?"

"You haven't noticed?" This time Quinn spoke with an exasperated voice.

"Notice what?"

"That piece is part of my private collection." Sebastian continued to chuckle as the rest of the team perked up, and Victoria spoke.

"You are telling me that…?"

"That's right. I'm the Andersons' next target!"
