Shooting Star - Readme
======================


Story:
------
 The Red-Shirted-Guy served happily in the police forces for many years, 
 until he got kicked out because he used too much violence. He started drinking.
 After couple months his twin brother, the Gree-Shirted-Guy, thought that Red's 
 life wasn't very glamourous, so Green asked Red if he wanted to collaborate and 
 start killing bad guys. They both thought it was a good idea and so they 
 started their agency, The Shooting Stars. 
 It was finally the time to take law to their own hands.
