Maybe because they are FRIENDS and the series is about DUNCAN. If it was about Amanda I am sure that Duncan would have gone to her.   See 8 other replies

So, an immortal woman wakes up to mortals trying to take her head. She escapes through an impressive series of athletic and acrobatic feats, getting shot in the process if memory serves. She's thrown onto the street with literally nothing but the clothes on her back and there are people trying to kill her who she can't sense coming. And you take issue with the fact that she seeks the aid of an old, powerful, and trusted friend who just so happens to know two people who belong to a group that would know about her immortality and possibly be able to find out who her attackers are? Judgmental much?It's less about Amanda's needs and more about Duncan's willingness to help. One of the series-long themes is his "Boy Scout" sense of ethics. From the beginning we've seen it. Male and female, mortal and immortal, everyone who knows him knows that Mac will help someone in need if at all possible.   See 8 other replies

Wild guess. Being independent doesn't keep you from fearing death.   See 8 other replies
