Server method not returning data to client

Here's the method located in server\twitter\methods.js

Meteor.startup(function(){
    Meteor.methods({
        searchTweets:function(term){
            T.get('search/tweets', { q: term, count: 2 }, function(err, data) {
                console.log(data);
                return data;
            })
        }
    });
});

Here's the event code located in client\search.js

Template.DashboardSearch.events({
    "click #btnSearchTweets": function(event, template){
        event.preventDefault();
        var term = $('#searchTerm').val();

        Meteor.call('searchTweets', term, function(err, result) {
            console.log(err);
            console.log(result);
            if (err) {
                console.log(err);
            }
            if (result) {
                Session.set('tweetData', result);
            }
        });
        $('#searchTerm').val("");
    }
});

The thing is, the 2 console.log() statements in the search.js file both return undefined while the console.log() in methods.js returns the expected twitter api data, any clues?

I might've mislead some people with how I framed my question.

The thing is; I was using the meteorhacks:npm package & the T represent a Meteor.npmRequire() package.

This is how my method looks like now:

Meteor.methods({
    searchTweets:function(term){
        var tweets = Async.runSync(function(done) {
            T.get('search/tweets', { q: term, count: 2 }, function(err, data) {
                done(null, data);
            });
        });
        return tweets.result;
    }
});

Everything seems to be working correctly now.
