Note: Sorry this is a couple of days late, but I got distracted writing 'Darkness' and then reading some fics... I'd also like to make a couple of apologies about the story so far:
1) There isn't much interaction between the Torchwood team and El Dorado guys.
2) Pretty much all we've seen of Torchood has been Jack and Ianto
3) The scenes have been pretty short
and finally 4) this chapter didn't have much happening.
In answer to all these I just have to say that that is the way the story has turned out, but all of these will be fixed later on. More interaction, team members, action and lengthier scenes to come! Next chapter soon, hopefully!

Please review this! Reviews make the world go round *nodnod*

Ianto sat at his computer and thought over the day's events. Somehow, the task of looking after the Spaniards seemed to have fallen to him. But then, he was the logical choice. The others were all busy with their own tasks, so it was left to the tea-boy to look after things when all the excitement was gone. He didn't really mind though – he liked helping people. Currently he was searching for stables: the Hub wasn't the ideal place to house a horse. Unfortunately, finding an appropriate stables was proving difficult. It had to be fairly nearby as Miguel would want to see Altivo often, but it also had to be relatively inexpensive, as Torchwood could not afford to pay the fees of some of the places he had found. To add to these problems, Altivo had those golden horse shoes and simply refused (though how a horse could refuse, he didn't know) to have them removed, even temporarily. This brought up questions with some of the places he had checked, questions he didn't want to answer. It hadn't helped that Jack had increased the horse's ego by braiding his mane and telling him what a fine horse he was. Ianto shook his head but couldn't help letting out a laugh at the memory. When his laughter turned into a yawn he checked the clock on his computer – it was 3am. He could continue his search tomorrow. Well, today technically, but whatever. He needed sleep.

Jack woke up on the couch and yawned. Altivo was sleeping on the floor next to him. He had stayed up just talking to the horse; he seemed so human-like it was easy to just keep chatting to him. Suddenly Ianto was beside him, holding a mug of coffee.

"Keep that up and I might start to get a bit jealous." Ianto said, indicating Altivo on the floor. Jack made a face at him, but took the coffee gratefully.
"How are the others doing?" He asked.
"I was just about to go check on them." Ianto replied. "I just saw you waking up so I thought I would give you your coffee first." Jack smiled his thanks as he had some of his drink. He didn't know how he had managed without Ianto's coffee before: the man was a genius.
Then Ianto said goodbye and left to go and check on Miguel, Tulio and Chel. This would give Jack time to get himself ready before the others arrived for work.

Ianto arrived at the safe house where Miguel, Tulio and Chel were staying. It wasn't where he would choose to live, but it was too bad. He knocked on the door and was invited in by Chel. He asked them some questions to which they happily replied: they understood the money; they had successfully gone shopping by themselves; and they had worked out how to use the coffee machine that Ianto had made sure every safe house had. They seemed to have settled down well enough, considering they had only been in this time for a day. However, all three looked as though they had something they wanted to say. In the end, it was Tulio who cleared his throat and made the announcement.
"We would like to return to Spain." He said. Ianto nodded in reply – he had been expecting this. It was only natural after all, even if it was a different time, Spain was still their home.

"It will take some time to get accommodation for you out there as Torchwood doesn't usually deal with other countries, but we should be able to set you up out there." He said after a moment. The others accepted this as they were pleased just to know that they would be back in their home country soon. Chel even went so far as to hug Ianto. Of course, Ianto thought, the main problem would be getting Jack to let him go out to Spain with them – they would need someone to help settle them down. Oh well, he would deal with Jack later. He spent a while longer with them, explaining more about the world as it now was to them. They had been particularly interested in casinos – it seemed they were big on gambling. It was nearing 2 o'clock when Ianto finally left. He explained that he had other work he needed to get done, and promised to be back tomorrow to discuss the details of going to Spain.

He returned to the Hub to speak to Jack about Spain. As soon as he stepped through the door a voice called out to him:
"Ah, the tea-boy has returned! Now, where is my coffee?" It just had to be Owen. Ianto simply rolled his eyes as he moved towards the coffee machine. He wouldn't have bothered, but if he brought Jack a coffee it would put him in a better mood. Instead, he decided to give Owen decaf. Having seen Tosh and Gwen in the Hub as well, he made them coffee too. He gave everyone their drinks and continued up to Jack's office. Jack ginned when Ianto knocked and entered the office, and his eyes brightened when he saw the mug in his hand.
"Perfect timing Ianto!" He said as he relieved him of the mug. "So, how'd it go?"

Ianto decided to just get it out. "They want to go back to Spain, it's their home. And I want to go with them. Only for a week!" He added quickly, not wanting to worry Jack. Jack frowned and thought for a moment, whilst Ianto waited anxiously for his reply.

"Just one week?" Ianto nodded. Jack thought for a moment more before giving Ianto a stern look. "As long as you are back in one week, not a minute longer, you can go." He could tell it was something Ianto really wanted to do, and it was only for a week after all. He could last that long without Ianto, he was really busy with his project at the moment anyway... Though he wasn't sure how well he would cope without Ianto's coffee.

Ianto smiled and thanked Jack, giving him a hug. "I won't be gone long." He promised.

"When will you leave?"

"As soon as I can, we need to find somewhere for them to live first."

"Well, get on with your research then." He said, and kissed Ianto before letting him leave.
