    Summary

    Stede Bonnet has had some ill-conceived ideas in his life, but setting up a fancy little floral shop in the worst part of town was probably one of the worst. What could he say? He was much more a dreamer than a realist.
    The shop was a charming little fixer-upper near his brand new apartment–Price-cut for the area’s recent increase in crime. Maybe he should have done a closer read on the lease he signed…
    Now several thousand dollars deep in his investment, Mr. Bonnet is determined to keep his quaint little shop afloat, but he’s not quite sure how…
    The neighborhood's not so bad, there’s a grungy tattoo parlor across the street that he’s taken to watching when business is slow.
    The alternative lifestyle had always fascinated him– But he might have never mustered the courage to go over there if it hadn't been for a miss-delivered package addressed to one Edward Teach, the supposed and mysterious owner of Blackbeard’s Tattoos and Piercings.

    And Stede Bonnet was nothing if not a good samaritan.
