Rags felt like Rusty needed an explanation but he tried to keep distance between his past and present. Rusty worried that Rags needed help but he didn_'t know what he should do. It messed with the security they normally shared. Rags decided to open the box.
Inside was another smaller box covered with satin. The satin box had a ruby inside. It was gigantic and perfect! Rusty_'s jaw dropped. He had never seen Rags with a wallet much less a priceless gem.
Rags suspected that Rusty worried that the ruby was stolen. It was actually his savings from his blog earnings. Rags had received a check from google and used the money to buy the ruby. The blog held the story of his past_, a story he didn_'t intend to tell.
