Query.find() returns a Promise. ".then" attaches a callback function to that promise. When the Find completes, it executes the callback. However, you called response.success() right after you initiated the Find. The results have not been delivered yet. Calling response.success() effectively cancels the find because getChat has been completed by calling response.success().

Put the call to response.success() inside the block!
