Prompt: The Key

Reluctantly he handed over the key with a shaking hand. In the hot night air of Arizona he trembled out of fear. 

"Don't worry," murmured his big brother. "What do you think will be in the box?" Smiling at the audacity of his sibling he pulled the lock open and lifted the rusting lid. A bloodied knife lay innocently rocking from the movement. It still looked wet. It's handle was a deer antler and dangling off the end was a leather charm with the letters R J stamped into it.

"So he did do it."

"We can't tell anyone. Understand?!"
