How to use your Verbatim My Finder Bluetooth Coin Trackers:

1. Pair them with your iPhone’s ‘Find My’ app.

2. Attach to your house keys and other valuable items you want to keep track of.

3. Within close range, use your phone to make the token ‘ding,’ thus drawing your attention to it.

4. When out of range, locate the item on a map. (You can send your contact information to someone who finds the item, thanks to NFC technology.)

5. Get home after a long day at work.

6. Pat your pockets.

7. Hear no jingle.

8. Sigh with frustration, realizing you must’ve left your house keys at work. Although you don’t remember ever taking them out of your pocket…

9. Check your Find My app.

10. Think there must be some mistake: it appears your keys are not at your office, but rather at a downtown parking garage?

11. Go to the parking garage.

12. Make the Verbatim My Finder Bluetooth Coin Tracker ding.

13. Find it attached to a key. The only problem? It’s not your house keys. It’s a car key.

14. Tap the unlock button and see the lights blink on a lowered, kitted-out 2001 Honda Civic SI hatchback.

15. Get in the car.

16. See that the GPS on the center console has a location entered.

17. Drive there, finding it to be a warehouse.

18. Find three men inside, one in an immaculate, tailored suit, and two others who are obviously the muscle.

19. Learn from your new “employer,” Mr. Trill, that you have been enlisted into a game between him and several of his other lavishly wealthy friends. You will compete against other entrapped individuals just like yourself, in a contest that spans the entirety of North America, and involves illegal drag-racing, bank-robbing, the breaking down and disabling of complicated firewalls, and Brazilian jiu jitsu.

20. Be held against your will for three months to train.

21. Emerge from that warehouse a changed person.

22. Begin the contest, drag-racing, robbing banks, hacking, and fighting.

23. Quickly establish your dominance among the other “horses” as Mr. Trill and his diabolical friends refer to the likes of you and your competitors.

24. Along the road one day, dare to defy orders and stray from the course, stopping at a diner for coffee.

25. Meet a thoughtful server who asks what’s got you down.

26. Explain everything: your entrapment, the strange contest, all of it.

27. When they put their hand on yours and ask what you hope to gain from winning, say, “Freedom.”

28. Take it to heart when they say, “Sweetie, that’s something anyone can give to you. It’s something you need to take.”

29. Defeat the last “horse” in a Brazilian jiu-jitsu bout sparred between the roofs of your two cars, traveling side-by-side, driverless, each with their cruise control set to identical speeds: 105 miles per hour.

30. When you meet Mr. Trill and his friends at the trophy ceremony, accept a glass of champagne but don’t drink it.

31. Ask if, now that you have fulfilled your duty, you might be allowed back to your old life.

32. Don’t flinch at their laughter.

33. Listen as Mr. Trill informs you that there will be more seasons after this one, especially for such a skilled “horse” as you.

34. Tell him no, there won’t be. And he’s given you the skill you need to ensure it.

35. When Mr. Trill laughs again and says, “You really think that you, a single person, can defeat us and all of our guards?” reply that you didn’t mean that skill.

36. Inform the assembled wealthy criminals that they have no guards, because you have used your newfound computer knowledge to drain their accounts and put the money towards hiring all their guards out from under them. Furthermore, you paid the catering company to put something in the champagne.

37. Pour out your own untouched glass as they clutch at their stomachs and fall out of their chairs.

38. Put on sunglasses.

39. Walk away from the scene in slow motion.

Note: Steps 5 through 40 are optional.
