Cruz rescues Javi, who had fallen out of the window of a burning building and develops a bond with him by speaking to him in Spanish when he realizes that the boy doesn't speak English. It is later revealed that Javi is an orphan from Honduras who was in the care of a missionary woman that was trying to care for him and two other boys.
Javi sneaks out of the hospital and manages to find Cruz at Firehouse 51. Cruz learns that the woman taking care of Javi and the other boys is unable to take care of them anymore, and they will split them up. He is able to convince Chloe to let Javi stay with them.
Javi sleeps in Brian's bedroom. When Cruz and Chloe wake up to the sound of Brian crying, they hear Javi singing Brian back to sleep. (Hot and Fast)
Cruz was concerned when Javi tells him that his teacher needs to speak to him; however, when he visits Javi's teacher, she explains to him that Javi has been coming out of his shell and doing very well in class.
Cruz and Chloe later explain to Javi that they couldn't find his aunt, which Javi was okay with and said that he wanted to stay with them. (Keep You Safe)
