Fetch a tweet object with the Twitter gem

I'm using the Twitter gem in a ruby project of mine and if I retweet a tweet, I want to find that retweet belonging to me. I know this is possible by using the current_user_retweet data node documented at https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/tweets . The issue is I have to use the twitter gem.

Currently I have this where the ID is of a tweet that I does not belong to me, but has been retweeted.

x = @twitter.status("590263114714714112")
return x.current_user_retweet.id

But the error returned says undefined method 'current_user_retweet' for #

To fetch a particular tweet by id

return client.status("590263114714714112", options = {})

where client is the configured object, the string is the id and the options is an empty hash which can be configured as needed.
