I believe that is what that was, since Tuco was gone Gus put some of his "trusted employees" to pick up the local cash. Didn't seem like a big operation and it wouldn't blow back on Gus. Thus using children.

In reality, hank did Gus a favor. Gus wouldn't have trusted Tuco. (He was an unstable addict) Tuco was probably there to eventually take over and rival Gus.The cartel didn't like or respect Gus..but with Tuco gone, they needed him and they hated that.

Especially when their chemists told them what Gus was slingin and what he was making.

Even Gus was preparing his own contingency plan, Gail. The lab was originally built for gail so that Gus could control his own product. We know that Gus and the cartel had an acrimonious relationship.

When the cartel is killed and Gus is killed, we find out that Gus had another backer, madrigal. We know that Lydia wasn't a rogue in the company (the madrigal official commits suicide when the police go to his office). How did madrigal, the cartel, and Gus interact (pre Walter white).

I Feel there's still a lot of interesting story lines left on the table on purpose. .

I hope Better call Saul has a few episodes that add some insight on the breaking bad story (similar to the way the xfiles had the monster episodes and the conspiracy episodes).
