This is completely different to any other fic I have ever done before. It is called 'switch' because they have switched places; Jack is one of America's top wanted criminals and Kate is a surgeon. They will meet but the big question is, what influence will they have on each other? I am not quite sure if this will attract many people's attention. If it does, I will probably continue, but if it doesn't then it will be deleted. If you like it please R&R because that makes me feel so much better.

Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own LOST, Kate, or Jack. I just own this crazy fictional idea...

Chapter 1

'Officer Cortez?' someone said as they approached Ana-Lucia Cortez. She was sitting in her station silently drinking her hot mug of tea since, as it was her break.

'Yes.'

'We need you. We ha-'

'Why are you here? It is my break, can you not see?' Ana said. She was one of the best cops in town, but more than anything, she had a bad temper. This was not a disadvantage; it was sometimes useful in situations like interviewing suspects. More than anything, though, she hated being interrupted during her breaks. She could verbally kill and abuse anyone, which is why many of the other police officers tried their best not to approach or even look at her.

'Yes, but-'

'I said it is my break. And when it is my break, what are you supposed to do?' Ana stated. It wasn't a question, just a statement. Even the other officers knew that. Nevertheless, she kept calm as usual, that was her motto. Keep calm... and then if the situation gets out of hand... show them what you're made of.

'Exit and wait until you are ready to proceed on further through the investigation.' the other officer recited the precious line. Whenever a new police officer was just starting, they were immediately told this line. Ana didn't know this, but it was called the 'Cortez line'. Since as she hated being interrupted, this is what they had to do.

'Good.' Ana smiled and took another small sip of her hot tea, never taking her eyes off the lady in front of her.

'But, Officer Cortez, this is important!'

'How important?' Ana asked narrowing her black-beaded eyes.

'Very important.' The officer said, confidently. Ana stared at her before she changed her glance to her watch. Her break was 10 seconds more than what it was supposed to be. That was how precise she was. She carefully looked back at her.

'Shoot.' she said.

'We think that we have found the whereabouts of Jack Shepherd.'

'The Jack Shepherd?' Ana asked, concentrating at the 'the'. That was the thing about her: her appearance and fit figure as well as her attitude, scared some people and attracted others. Not only that, but her way of looking at familiar as well as unfamiliar faces, confused everyone. Hardly anyone could ever read her expressions, which was what made her so mysterious, yet so successful.

'Yes. We think that-'

'You think or you know?' Ana asked watching her through a blank expression.

'Well, we're not quite sure, but-' she said, nervously but stopped dead in her tracks when Ana-Lucia gave her one of her looks and tilted her head to the side. '...We know.' she nodded.

'Let's go then.' Ana exclaimed with a smile tugging at her lips as she got up and exited the room.

Dr. Kate Austin turned the motor off as she got out of the car, with exhaustion and took her bags. Another hard day at work. She took out her keys and entered her tall, white house. A few seconds later, she slumped on the fluffy, cushioned sofa and relaxed.

Kate was a very successful woman herself. But she was a different type of successful to Ana. Kate didn't have the appearance to scare and amaze people, nor the ability to get answers so well out of them. But she had a very good figure that nearly every man that saw her fell for and a very developed mind. She was top in what she did. Her medical knowledge simply amazed all her workmates and she had saved so many lives in her short career, that it was countless.

Even though you may think that she had a very good and 'perfect' life, I can tell you from now that she didn't. Yes, her work was great and paid well, but that was all she seemed to do. Countless nights she had spent at her hospital on duty, that she knew every spot of the building. Kate didn't have a husband or children, and her mom, Diane, did not like this at all. She told her so many times that she should take a break from work, but of course, Kate didn't listen.

So now, she was living all by herself. She only had 30 days off in the whole year, and she scarcely went on holiday or visited her relatives. Despite all this, Kate knew that her life sometimes sucked, but she tried her best not to show it.

Kate sighed as she got up. It was nearly midnight and she had to go to bed since as she had work tomorrow. She just realised that she didn't have anything to eat since the morning. Kate groaned and made her way to the kitchen. She opened the fridge and saw that it was nearly empty and some things had already gone mouldy. She took some butter and spread it on top of a thin slice of bread.

Just as she was about to pick it up and eat it, she felt two strong hands grab her from behind. Kate's eyes grew wide and she tried to scream and squirmed under his touch, but it was obvious that she wouldn't fight him off.

'Don't move or scream.' a voice said from behind as a long and pointy knife was immediately pointed to her neck.
