What they don't know is that the alert sign is already being spread...
A little mouse spying the situation warns another mouse who then warns another who warns another who finally warns...

These are taken through the city sewers to a jewelry store own by Morientes - an old friend of Perez that trades them paying the teeth's weight in gold coins.
