mongoDB query return null, but with .toArray return data

I have this query in mongoDB

var query = { "_id": new ObjectID(id)};
var items = {items:1};

warehouses.find(query, items,function (error, docs) {
    if (error) {
       error(error);
       return;
    }


    success(docs);
});

I want to get the items from a document by _id. This return me docs.items = undefined

But when i do:

warehouses.find(query, items).toArray(function (error, docs) {
            if (error) {
                error(error);
                return;
            }


            success(docs);
    });

Return me data:

0: Object
_id: ObjectID
items: Array[3]
0: Object
1: Object
2: Object
length: 3

How can i get the data with the first query? I want something like

There is a big difference. If you only expect one result, as in searching by the _id then use .findOne():

warehouses.findOne(query, items, function (error, doc) {

Otherwise you are returning a Cursor() object. At least so in the native driver and in some form or another in ODM's.
