Default Drop my keys into the center hole of the trunk. HELP

I don't know what to do. SOmeone please help. I was getting my bags and I accidently drop my keys and it somehow landed near the hole. Then, the biggest key somehow droped in and with it the rest of my keys. Any help would be great. Thank you. Simple terms please, I don't know any auto.

Get a magnet stick that mechanics use to get bolts that fall in awkward places.....looks like a antenna with a magnet on the end. Hope this helps.

Yes it is the metal coat hanger. I haven't actually got to check it out yet. I'm still in school with my car unlocked. Any help of what to do to take it apart or where to start looking would be really great. Thank you everyone.

??????????
Ummmm, someone suggested you use a coat hanger to fish out the keys. No idea what 'yes it is the metal coat hanger' was supposed to mean.

And then 'it is that hole where the hanger latches to'........yikes.

Where is there a hole anywhere on this car that the keys could fall into, let alone a hole with a hanger latched to it?????
This is more confusing than the show 'LOST' lol.
