You can't have a function that makes an async call just return something (unless it's a promise).

You need to have your function take a callback parameter:

function foo(callback) {
  doSomethingAsync(function(data) {
    // fire callback, which is a function that takes an argument 'data'
    callback(data)
  });
}

Then you can use it like this:

foo(function(data) {
  doStuffWith(data);
});
