Default Dead Battery,Doors and hood locked-Help

I have a dead battery in my 2005 Corvette. Like a dope, I took the battery out and shut the hood, of course not thinking that the doors won't open. Now I can't open the hood to put the new battery in because I can't get into my car to access the hood latch opener. The car is at home, so I have time. Can anyone tell me if there is an emergency latch tio open the hood to put my new battery into the car????

Please advise via E-mail or call me at 239-450-8139. I already called roadside assistance and they said they could not help me. Thanks, Dean.

BTW, the pull wire is on the left.

Thanks to all responders but especially to Mike Furman who called me immediately after I posted the problem. As I told Mike this is my fourth Corvette and I have never been in this situation before. I looked under the hood and around the car and knew there had to be someway to get in. Even my wife asked me " What is the key for?" Again my thanks to Mike. Mike is in Maryland and I am in Naples, Florida. When Mike comes to Florida I owe him a beer!

That's an easy problem to have, now go enjoy the Florida weather.
