Our Dts Has A Dead Battery. Unable To Unlock With Either The Fob Or Key.

Yesterday, our 2006 cadillac dts had a dead battery. We jumped it with the van and my husband took the kids into town. He stopped at the store for 10 minutes and when he returned the battery was dead again. I came into town to jump it with the corolla and this didn't work. We left it at the store overnight and now we can't open the vehicle with either the key, the fob or the valet key. What do we do? Any help would be appreciated. Thx.
